About Harold
Harold DuBois is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people facing anger, relationship strain, and family stress. He uses a direct and practical style to help clients sort out problems and make clear plans. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused.
He draws on five years of clinical experience and a background that includes long service in the U.S. Navy. That experience shaped his approach to structure and problem solving.
Background and approach
He has also served as a licensed foster parent in Maryland and California and has worked with families involved in Child Welfare Services. Sessions are goal-oriented and collaborative. Harold works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and adjusts plans as needed.
Conversations focus on concrete steps people can try between sessions and on ways to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. Harold has experience addressing trauma, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues related to sexual assault and domestic violence. He also supports people coping with depression, addictions, self-esteem, and concerns related to LGBT identity.
People who prefer practical guidance will find a steady, structured approach. Harold emphasizes teamwork - clients and clinician decide goals together - and he offers multiple ways to connect so therapy can fit into a busy life.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Harold uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, manageable steps. One approach emphasizes structured problem solving - identifying specific problems, weighing options, and testing small solutions to change behavior and reduce anger or stress. This helps with relationship conflict, parenting challenges, and daily stressors.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care that pays attention to how past harm affects current reactions. It involves pacing, grounding strategies, and building safety with coping tools to reduce reactivity and support recovery from abuse or assault experiences.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Harold works with each person to match methods to their goals, lifestyle, and comfort level, and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. He invites clients to give feedback and helps shape a plan that feels realistic.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels distracting. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility and several ways to keep momentum between sessions.
