John Dlugosz, LCSW, LISW

John Dlugosz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, intimacy concerns, and depression. He brings 21 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help clients find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming.

He focuses on building a strong working relationship first. Early sessions are spent listening, asking open questions, and understanding what matters most to the client. From there he and the client set clear goals and steps to reach them.

His work often uses cognitive behavioral ideas in a client-centered way. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors. He also emphasizes self-care routines, journaling, relaxation methods, and activity planning to support change over time.

John integrates faith when clients want that perspective. He describes an approach that combines evidence-based techniques with a Christian worldview for those who prefer it, always shaping work around each person’s values and goals.

Clients can expect practical tools, questions that prompt reflection, and collaborative planning. The aim is steady progress: reducing distress, improving communication, and building a clearer sense of purpose and direction.

He practices from Nevada and offers services in English, including to international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

John frequently uses cognitive behavioral ideas in his work, helping clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach is structured and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, and some relationship challenges.

He also offers an integration of faith and therapeutic techniques for clients who want a Christian perspective. That approach pairs scripture-informed reflection with evidence-based methods to support meaning, values, and coping strategies.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, personal values, and preferences, then try methods that seem most likely to help. Sessions are collaborative and may include journaling assignments, behavior experiments, or relaxation practice between meetings.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people choose a shorter phone or video check-in when needed, or schedule a longer session for deeper work depending on what the therapist and client agree will help.
