About John
John Dlugosz, LCSW, LISW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. He presents a direct, practical approach focused on small steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier days. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and build routines that support change.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral ideas in a client-centered way. That means looking at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and testing small changes to see what helps.
Background and approach
He often suggests journaling, activity scheduling, thought records, and relaxation techniques to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. John emphasizes strengths and developing a self-care routine. He explains why consistent habits matter and works with people to create realistic plans they can follow.
Goal setting and guided discovery are common parts of his work to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady progress. He also integrates the client’s faith when desired, bringing together evidence-based tools and Christian perspectives for those who find that helpful. That blend aims to connect personal beliefs with practical skills for coping and growth.
With more than 21 years of experience, he draws on long clinical practice to help people find a way forward. John offers sessions in English and sees people who live in Nevada as well as international clients by online formats.
How online approaches and practical skills fit together
John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. CBT tools like cognitive reframing, activity scheduling, and behavior activation help with anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, and relationship patterns by teaching clear steps people can use between sessions.He also blends evidence-based methods with Christian-informed perspectives when clients want faith integrated into care. That approach connects spiritual resources and scripture with practical exercises, aiming to support values-based change and emotional coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Sessions typically begin by clarifying priorities and testing small changes to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
