About John
LCSW-C in Maryland with 11 years of experience, John Doleski helps people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and other life challenges. He works with individuals facing grief, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters.
John draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Interpersonal Therapy, and Problem Solving Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take to reduce symptoms and solve pressing problems.
Before joining private practice John worked nine years with active duty service members from all branches and their families on family advocacy, substance abuse, and psychotherapy. That background informs his work with people experiencing occupational stress, family conflict, domestic violence, and child welfare issues.
In sessions he aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental. Conversations tend to include skill practice, thinking patterns that keep problems going, and structured approaches to process difficult memories when needed.
People meet to set goals and plan next steps. Progress is reviewed regularly and treatment adjusts to what is working. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based approaches work in remote sessions
Evidence-based techniques he uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches skills to change reactions and behavior. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day stressors.Cognitive Processing Therapy targets the way traumatic events are processed. It guides people to reframe stuck beliefs that develop after trauma and can reduce symptoms that follow distressing experiences.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an approach used to process traumatic memories more adaptively. It involves structured sessions where distressing memories are addressed alongside tracking or structured bilateral stimulation to reduce their intensity.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and what feels useful.
Practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time.
