About Harold

Harold Kellogg is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and coping with life changes. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable. Many parents find his straightforward style calming when they are juggling household pressures and uncertain next steps.

Harold uses practical, hands-on methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.

Background and approach

Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, trying small changes, and building new habits that fit daily life. He brings 26 years of professional experience in social work to his practice. Harold also served in the US Navy and retired after active and reserve duty, which shaped his approach to discipline, structure, and resilience.

This history informs how he supports people facing big life transitions. Harold has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. He has experience with family conflicts and with helping those recovering from addictions and trauma-related struggles.

His work style is collaborative - he treats people as the experts on their lives and helps them use their strengths to move forward. Getting started follows simple steps. A brief intake helps match goals to practical steps in therapy.

Sessions aim to be concrete, focused, and respectful of each family’s daily demands.

CBT-informed care and flexible online sessions

Harold uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical steps to change how they respond to stress and anxiety.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person and family. He views treatment as a team effort where goals, preferences, and daily life shape the plan. Together they choose techniques that fit the client’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep work and school disruptions to a minimum. Offering multiple formats also helps people stay connected during times of change and to use the same therapeutic methods across different settings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
