John Rigoli

When someone finally picks up the phone — after months of managing alone, or years of the same argument with a spouse, or a child whose pain they can’t quite reach — John Rigoli is often who they find. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Las Vegas, John works with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of struggles: trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse recovery, crisis, and the slow erosion that professional burnout can bring.

His approach is hands-on and personal. John draws on EMDR to help clients process traumatic memory, Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method for couples, and CBT for everyday cognitive patterns. With younger clients — children, teens, and young adults — he uses sand tray and play therapy to build trust before building skills, guiding them through anger management, attachment difficulties, and social development. He meets each person where they are and builds the work around their specific strengths.

John also recognizes what happens when the workday never quite ends — when notifications pull someone back to their desk at ten at night, and exhaustion starts to look like a personality. The thread running through everything he does is practical: help people understand what they’re feeling, and find better ways to act on it. Online sessions are available.
