John Doleski

John Doleski is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and life transitions. He uses straightforward, compassionate care to help clients find practical ways to cope. John practices in Maryland and communicates in English.

He draws on more than 11 years of experience in clinical social work. Much of his work was with active duty service members and the issues they and their loved ones face, including occupational stress, parenting strain, divorce, and substance concerns. That background informs a practical approach to real-life problems.

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing are used when trauma or complex stress affects everyday life.

He also uses Interpersonal Therapy to address relationship patterns and Problem Solving Therapy to break down big problems into manageable steps. Those methods aim to make symptoms easier to manage and daily life more workable.

John tries to make the room welcoming and judgment-free. He offers honest feedback and works collaboratively to find what helps. Prospective clients select the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors, processing trauma, and improving problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms. Cognitive Processing Therapy targets beliefs and reactions tied to trauma, helping people make sense of distressing events and reduce their impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day demands. That means trying an approach and adjusting it as progress and preferences become clear.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people check in from wherever they are at the scheduled time. It can also make shorter follow-ups or focused skill sessions simpler to schedule when life gets hectic.
