More about me

Licensing: M.A., Ed.S., LMHC Years in Practice: 39 State: Florida

Welcome to BetterHelp . I commend you in reaching out to our platform for assistance. We are established professional counselors working with people with a variety of issues. Our mission is to make counseling affordable , accessible, and convenient. My name is John A. Llauget. I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Educational Specialist degree from University of South Florida. I also am licensed as Mental Health Counselor in Florida and licensed as Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama. My career in mental health began in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital ; and later as outpatient therapist in a community health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I also worked as an employee assistance counselor (EAP), school counselor, associate professor at international university, and court evaluator for guardianship cases. For the last 20 years , I worked as cancer counselor with population of oncology clients helping them cope with illness, stress, and emotional issues. I've maintained an interest in martial arts, using traditional Okinawan karate to help clients develop self esteem and self control. Later as I worked with the elderly, I taught Qigong ( body/mind exercise ) and meditation classes to improve the health of my clients. My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a person better and talk more explicitly about issues before making any therapeutic recommendations. I also am a strong advocate for teaching ' tools' for coping with stress and emotional difficulties. I've also gained training in trauma treatment because we know now that it is prevalent in our life experiences. I value compassion, persistence, and patience in working towards change. Please call or text if you have any questions. I check my messages twice daily; once in am and once in pm. But I am unavailable on Sundays. I look forward to working with you. Research suggests that you will know if you are with the 'right' counselor after two sessions. I value your time and want to use it productively.

Sincerely, John

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

John is a great therapist. He listens carefully to everything and provides thoughtful and actionable feedback and advice. His mindfulness and meditation approaches have been very helpful to me, and I feel that these types of approaches have been more beneficial than others I have tried. He clearly has a wealth of experience both professionally and personally that he applies to each session and topic. I would recommend John to anyone who is looking for a different way of changing habits and building strong coping skills for anxiety and stress.

Overall

John has been incredibly helpfull during the last 12 months. He helped me with my insomnia. Although I am still having some sleep issues now and then due to business stresses, I am not a chronic insomniac any more, which feels amazing and empowering! I learn new CBT and other types of techniques from him every week which I apply in my daily life that help me tackle my life and business challenges with more skill. I would like to continue working with him as he not only helped me to get out of a bad place but helps me live a more fulfilling life. Thank you John!

Overall

I think I may not have persevered through this process without having a therapist like John. His manner if friendly and engaging, while still professional and backed with a thorough understanding of his vocation. Throughout my sessions with John, we were able to discuss the framework and tools to address those issues I had brought up, all the while keeping me focused in a way that didn't feel like "homework". I came away from every session with fresh, productive thoughts and goals, reinforced by John's reassuring guidance and positive approach. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help.

Better help is better for having John as one of their counselors. Thank you John!

John is great. I'd never done any kind of counseling before, but he make me comfortable enough to discuss things I've never talked to other people about before. He's a very personable guy and easy to trust that he has my best interests in mind.

N.E.·May 21, 2021

Overall

I have worked with many counselors over my lifetime and can wholeheartedly attest that BetterHelp matched me with someone who was correctly aligned with my needs. John is sincere, present, and mindful and we easily connected. His demeanor allowed us to have a space of mutual respect and honest conversation. John heard "me" and carefully listened to all I needed to get out of my head. With John's guidance, I learned how to identify the "habit-loop" I've been in for decades and reframed how I perceived success and failure. We got to the root of "why do I self-sabotage", "why do I (fill in the blank)" and transitioned to "how do I implement safe-guards and the new skills I've learned into my every day life". John made it clear that I was the one that did the work. My transformation into the person I've become was due to the effort and dedication that I put into it. Not only is John a sincere and authentic counselor, he is a human being dedicated to doing his part to improve humanity one person at a time.

S.A.·May 20, 2021

Overall

John has guided me through a very transformational and challenging time. His grounded unwavering support has helped me tremendously. Reflecting on the last three months I'm starting to see changes in myself I didn't know I needed and my partnership is growing stronger every day.

N.I.·May 19, 2021

Overall

I am a 40-year old entrepreneur that has had too many things on my mind for too long. Business, family, personal issues and recent unfortunate life events resulted in a level of complexity that was hard to manage on my own. I struggled with sleep and a general low sense of wellbeing for a few years now. After a few months of weekly calls with John and his guidance sleep has improved and I am regaining my confidence in my abilities to conquer anything that comes my way. I would recommend talking to John if you are running a startup and feel overwhelmed. He has vast knowledge ranging from mindfulness and CBT to even organizational behaviour and is able to help in different situations.

John has been exceptional throughout the time I have worked with him. He's ability to understand the root cause of an issue and then prescribe appropriate treatments is second to none.
