Biography
John Dlugosz, DRS, EdS, LCSW-QS is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and veteran who provides trauma-informed therapy and, upon request, faith-integrated therapy for adolescents, adults, couples, families, and veterans in outpatient and integrated care settings. His approach is holistic, patient-centered, and strengths-based, drawing from CBT, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and Christian counseling to support healing of the mind, body, and spirit. For patients who want faith to be part of the therapeutic process, John welcomes Catholic, Orthodox, Christian, and broader faith perspectives and works respectfully with each person’s beliefs, values, and relationship with God.
John strives to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood. When desired, he thoughtfully integrates Christian, biblically informed, and faith-informed reflection with evidence-based strategies and practices to help patients address emotional pain, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and move toward greater clarity, resilience, sense of self and hope. His work emphasizes collaboration, emotional safety, and practical tools that support meaningful growth both inside and outside of therapy.
Treatment begins with a collaborative intake focused on understanding each patient’s story, concerns, goals, values, and spiritual preferences. From there, John develops individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that may include CBT, trauma-informed care, strengths-based interventions, and faith-based support when clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. Patients can expect therapy to be compassionate, practical, and goal-oriented, with regular attention to progress, emotional regulation, personal and relational growth, spiritual reflection, and lasting change.
