Harold Kellogg, LCSW

Harold Kellogg is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, depression, and major life changes. He brings 26 years of professional experience and a steady, practical approach to conversations about difficult issues. He aims to meet people where they are and build on the strengths they already have.

Harold views each person as the expert on their own story. In sessions he listens first, then offers straightforward tools to reduce distress and make daily life calmer. He helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices skills they can use between meetings.

His background includes long service in the U.S. Navy, with both active and reserve duty before retiring in 2012. That experience shaped his focus on helping people adjust after major transitions and work through painful memories. He has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings over many years.

Harold has direct experience supporting people with readjustment after military service and with processing traumatic experiences related to combat. He combines that experience with cognitive behavioral methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Choosing to start therapy can feel hard, and he acknowledges that step. He works to create a calm, practical space where people can practice new ways of coping and move toward clearer goals.

How Harold Uses CBT Online

Harold commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and cravings related to addictions.

He also draws on practical coping strategies learned from many years of clinical work and military experience. These strategies include step-by-step plans for managing stress, short behavioral experiments, and rehearsal of skills to handle triggers and high-risk situations.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Harold works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He encourages feedback and adjusts tools or pacing based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be conducted. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful for practicing skills between sessions and keeping momentum during life transitions.
