Harold DuBois , MD, LCSW-C

Harold DuBois is a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland with 5 years of professional experience. He holds an MD, which denotes a Doctor of Medicine, and an LCSW-C, a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical credential that authorizes clinical social work and psychotherapy practice.

A US Navy veteran with 25 years of active service, he brings particular insight to veteran and armed forces issues. He has served as a licensed foster parent in both Maryland and California and completed specialized training through the Title IV-E Child Welfare training program, experience that informs his work with families involved in child welfare services.

His clinical focus includes relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He also works with adoption and foster care matters, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family problems, and sexual assault and abuse.

Harold uses a goal-oriented, flexible, and collaborative approach, partnering with clients to develop goals as part of the therapeutic process and creating a space for thoughts and feelings to be shared without judgment. He aims to support and empower people taking steps toward a more fulfilling and healthier life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care for families and trauma

Harold emphasizes evidence-based, goal-oriented work that helps clients set clear, achievable steps and track progress. This approach is well suited to concerns like stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and building self-esteem because it focuses on practical strategies and measurable change.

He also applies family- and systems-focused techniques that look at relationship patterns and communication dynamics. These methods support parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, and broader family conflicts by addressing how people interact within their relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Harold works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and he adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the client’s situation and progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments, allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and offer multiple communication styles so clients can choose what feels most comfortable.
