About John
LCSW, LISW in Tennessee and Ohio with 21 years of experience. John Dlugosz helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. He uses practical, evidence-based techniques and focuses on identifying strengths and root causes.
John listens first and asks open questions to understand what’s happening in a person’s life. He describes sessions as collaborative and goal-oriented. Early meetings focus on building a working relationship and clarifying goals for therapy.
His primary clinical toolkit includes cognitive approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and routines. He uses tools such as cognitive restructuring, thought records, journaling, activity scheduling, and relaxation techniques to reduce symptoms and increase functional skills. He also emphasizes self-care routines and education about why those routines matter.
John integrates clients’ faith when it is an important part of their lives, combining biblical perspectives with practical therapeutic techniques. He frames faith-based material alongside standard clinical tools rather than as a separate treatment model.
Over two decades of practice have included work with people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, addictions, guilt and shame, infidelity, life purpose questions, men’s issues, midlife concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, self-love, and sex addiction. He encourages a step-by-step plan and measurable goals to track change.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
John uses cognitive-based techniques and practical skill-building as core tools. Cognitive methods focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, using techniques like cognitive restructuring and thought records to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. These tools work well for worry, phobias, and mood-related problems.He also emphasizes behavioral strategies such as activity scheduling, behavioral activation, and relaxation exercises. These approaches help rebuild routines, increase positive activity, and reduce avoidance - useful for depression, low motivation, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will review your situation, goals, and preferences and suggest specific tools to try. That collaborative process may include short exercises between sessions and regular check-ins to see what helps.
The listing does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also make it possible to continue work when clients are in different locations, including international clients, while the therapist and client decide which techniques to prioritize.
