About Harold
Harold DuBois is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem and depression. He also supports people affected by adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces concerns, and sexual assault and abuse.
Harold describes his style as goal oriented, flexible, and collaborative. He treats goal setting as a shared task and adjusts plans as needs change. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to reduce reactivity, communicate more clearly, and manage stressors that fuel anger and resentment.
He draws on his background as a US Navy veteran and his time working with Child Welfare Services. Those experiences inform his understanding of family systems and the stresses that can follow military service and foster care involvement. He has completed additional training through the Title IV-E Child Welfare training program.
In sessions he works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. He helps people identify patterns that lead to heated interactions and builds skills for calmer responses. Work may include communication practice, problem-solving, and planning for safer interactions.
People who choose Harold usually want straightforward, practical work on real problems. He asks clear questions, sets concrete goals, and checks progress in regular steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Harold uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and skill building. One approach emphasizes communication practice and behavioral strategies to reduce reactive responses; clients learn concrete ways to speak and listen that lower the chance of escalation. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, helping people process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on current relationships through paced work and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harold collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different activities. He reviews progress and adapts techniques so the plan remains practical and useful for daily life.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. The therapist will discuss which formats and rhythms of sessions best suit your situation during the matching and intake steps.
