Harold Kellogg, LCSW

Harold Kellogg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 26 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, navigate family conflicts, and cope with depression and life changes. He views clients as the experts of their own stories and draws on their existing strengths to work through challenges, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Mr. Kellogg retired from the US Navy in 2012 after a total of 32 years of service - 11 years on active duty and 21 years in the reserves. His clinical background includes work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples across both inpatient and outpatient settings. He has particular experience supporting combat veterans in the transition back to civilian life and in reconciling past traumatic experiences related to post-traumatic stress.

Throughout his career he has combined clinical experience with a respect for each client’s perspective, aiming to offer practical support and tools that fit individual needs and goals.

CBT and Strengths-Based Care for Online Clients

Harold Kellogg uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills and exercises that can reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns by teaching new ways to cope and respond.

He also works from a strengths-based perspective, recognizing each client’s existing resources and life experience. This approach highlights what is already working for the client and builds on those strengths to support recovery, improved relationships, and successful life transitions, including readjustment after military service.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Licensed professionals and therapists, including Harold Kellogg, will work with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes scheduling easier and helps clients access consistent care from different locations. These options support ongoing work on goals, skills practice between sessions, and timely support when challenges arise.
