About John
John Dlugosz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee and an LISW licensed in Ohio with 21 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, substance and process addictions, guilt and shame, infidelity, and midlife and life-purpose questions.
He takes a practical, focused approach in sessions. He listens first, asks open questions, and helps people identify the root causes of problems. Sessions are aimed at building concrete skills such as thought recording, activity scheduling, and goal setting so people can make manageable changes between visits.
His practice draws heavily on cognitive behavioral methods. That means looking at patterns of thought and behavior, testing ideas in everyday life, and trying new actions to shift outcomes. He also integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients wish to include their religious values in therapy.
John emphasizes strength-based work and relapse prevention for addictive behaviors. He uses journaling, relaxation techniques, and behavior activation to support recovery from drug and alcohol issues, process addictions, and sexual behavior problems. He helps people navigate separation, infidelity, and changes in intimate relationships with practical communication tools.
He is a veteran and brings long-term experience working with veterans and armed forces issues. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with education about symptoms and strategies woven into talk and exercises. People who want direct, skill-oriented work and a focus on concrete next steps often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based methods and remote care
John commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches that break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves tracking thoughts, testing new behaviors, and using activity scheduling and behavior activation to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This approach is practical and focused on measurable steps.He also integrates faith-informed counseling when clients want to include religious beliefs in sessions. That work brings scripture and spiritual values into conversations alongside standard therapeutic techniques, which some people find helpful for meaning and motivation.
Finding the right therapeutic approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules. Remote appointments can make it easier to keep shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, and maintain continuity when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can also match session pacing and homework assignments to whatever structure works in a client’s day.
