About me
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

Finding the right therapist can be frustrating but I feel so blessed to have found the right one. John is the best!!! He is caring, informed, and an attentive listener. He is such a support and has helped me change my life for the better.
John is humorous and experienced. He concerns about the wellbeing of his patient.Glad to meet him!
John is highly professional and great at connecting with you whilst engaging in conversation. He has certain ease to be able to open up to and has genuine concern for your well being. I am very grateful to John for guiding me through difficult times- encouraging me to self reflect and become a better version of myself. Good sense of humour and very flexible to suit your availability.
John has a strong base with many years of psychological education and experience. He always, always brings me something new to read, or think about. Just so professional and legitimate. I am thankful for finding him on this app.
Thoughtful, smart, experienced….and fun :)
John is clear in his communication and keeps it simple. He has good energy and a good listener.
Mr John has heped me quite alot to pour my thoughts too, it is always soothing to talk to him.
John has been a fantastic support in helping me with a variety of issues and concerns I have been having. He is a great listener, and also provides many strategies and avenues to turn to. He is encouraging, and can also help with positive motivational guidance too. I highly recommend John’s service if you are having issues with anxiety or self care and addiction.
I am overly glad I am having sessions with John L. what he has taught me has significantly helped.
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!
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.
John is a fountain of knowledge, optimism, and support. He is funny and kind and a wonderful listener. John’s counseling methods and skills have helped me, my mental health, and my private life immensely and I am forever grateful to have come across his profile on this site. Better help is better for having John as one of their counselors. Thank you John!
John has help me through so horrible times and has always kept things positive and been real with me. Easy to talk to and open up too and I would refer him to anyone I know
John is an incredible counselor and human being. His knowledge and expertise have been an invaluable resource for me while learning to cope, manage and overcome my anxiety. His methods are straight-forward, practical, and insightful. I feel more confident, self-aware, and compassionate now than I ever have before thanks to John's guidance.
John is very approachable and easy to talk to. He provides support and shares skills and knowledge in a very accessible way that help me to take short term practical steps and long term strategies to improve my overall wellbeing.
John is very knowledgeable, sensitive and funny. Extremely helpful and each session with him very helpful.
John has been such a knowledgeable, encouraging guide on my continuing journey towards self-acceptance. He is respectful, genuine and friendly. I felt like he really listened to the problems and questions that I had and offered resources, tools and encouragement to do the necessary work. John also has a wonderful sense of humour and it was a pleasure to talk with him.
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.
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.
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.
Great listener and always has suggestions to help!
John is extremely helpful and attentive. He gave me a lot of gems to help with my stress and anxiety and he took the time to help get to the root of my problems. Absolutely the best counseling experience I’ve had!
A very understanding and reassuring counsellor. I have only had two sessions so far but I already feel comfortable with John and know he is helping me.
He’s wonderful
The experience has helped me get help I feel great talking to someone feel comfortable talking to John he is cool guy thanks for your help
John is a very good listener. After just one session I can see that he has my best interests in mind and is starting to work with me to find techniques to manage my mental health better. I would definitely recommend John to anyone needing a person to listen.
John explained me a lot of things, what helped me to move forward. And for this few weeks. I feel more confident about myself. Thanks a lot!!!!
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. I was apprehensive about starting this experience, but within minutes of our first session, I felt relaxed and just extremely grateful to be working with someone like John. I could not possibly recommend him any higher.
John has been such a wonderful help to me in a time where I felt lost and overcome with emotion and anxiety. I appreciate his approach and the breadth of knowledge he shares. They've helped me in many areas of my life.
John is extremely friendly and helpful. I was struggling for a long time trying to deal with past anxieties and a relationship where I was causing some problems due to this. John coached me through this and within weeks I was already doing better and progressing. Thank you John!
Really liked John's approach of starting with goals , as it helps to see what all I have achieved in long term. And his suggestions on books were really helpful , those were completely relatable to my situation.
Speaking with John is a pleasant experience, he knows his work well.
I would highly recommend him
John’s approach to healing through alternative techniques like qigong and meditation is perfect for me. Being with him makes me feel instantly calmer.
John is a great counselor who offers actual techniques for managing stress, anger, and more. During our first session he helped me to create a list of three things to easily do when I’m in a moment that upsets me—mind-body connection techniques. His approach is balanced and he always listens first.
John is very patient and respectful for what I am looking for in help.
John has been fantastic to work with and a huge help. Highly recommend him
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Will recommend , well already have!
Had my doubts about seeing a therapist via webcam, but after meeting John, his understanding, sincerity, and professionalism quickly changed my mind and made me feel safe. He’s highly recommended
John is great. He keeps me proactive and not ruminating. Which is really what I need most.
