About John

John Doleski is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) and medical doctor who brings 11 years of professional experience to his practice in Maryland.

Background and approach

He focuses on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, parenting and coping with life changes. ADHD is listed among his areas of focus.

His work draws on evidence-based interventions to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns that affect daily functioning and relationships. John aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges honestly and work toward practical strategies.

He emphasizes collaboration and clear communication to tailor approaches to each person's needs. Clients consult with him for a range of concerns including addiction recovery, trauma processing, mood management, and interpersonal conflict.

John combines clinical knowledge with an approachable manner to support clients as they pursue clearer goals and improved coping skills.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care



John uses several well-established therapeutic techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Processing Therapy is a structured approach for addressing the effects of trauma by helping clients reframe and make sense of distressing memories and beliefs.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts strategies over time so treatment feels like a mutual fit that supports progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and access support from Maryland without commuting to an office.
