About Harold

Harold Whittle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Delaware. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction. He works with issues around self-esteem, parenting, career changes, and life transitions.

Harold uses straightforward talk therapy to help people name what is happening and find practical ways forward. He listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans. His approach draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. He also uses client-centered methods and emotionally-focused work to strengthen emotional awareness and connection.

Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and measure progress. With 26 years in the field, Harold brings long experience helping people untangle problems rooted in family of origin, codependency, abandonment wounds, and addiction. He also supports people working through guilt, shame, infidelity, and issues around fatherhood and men’s challenges.

Harold sees starting therapy as a courageous step and aims to make the process manageable. He guides people toward clearer choices, improved communication, and better coping skills so daily life feels more steady and purposeful.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and life changes by clarifying what matters and creating step-by-step moves toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It’s useful for anxiety, mood shifts, anger management, and habits related to addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express emotions more clearly and repair strained connections in close relationships, which can ease intimacy and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harold will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adapts exercises and pacing so clients can try techniques and see what helps before moving forward.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern, and messaging options support short check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and travel.
