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

Written by W.O. on Apr 07, 2021 after counseling with John for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and coaching

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. 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 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!

John’s approach to healing through alternative techniques like qigong and meditation is perfect for me. Being with him makes me feel instantly calmer.

Written by P.A. on Oct 05, 2020 after counseling with John for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, and bipolar disorder

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.
