About Jerome
Dr. Jerome Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. He practices in Maryland and brings a long career in clinical roles to his therapeutic work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career questions, and many other life challenges.
Before moving into private practice in Maryland, he served in leadership and clinical roles for military and justice settings. That background includes work as a behavioral health consultant and psychotherapist with the United States Department of the Air Force and roles in correctional mental health. These roles shaped his focus on symptom management, behavioral redirection, and practical goal setting.
His approach centers on listening closely to what a person wants to change. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and work from the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life.
He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people manage stress and move toward clear, short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Sessions are aimed at concrete steps people can try between meetings. He supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, mood disorders, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. Dr. Anderson emphasizes realistic plans for coping with life changes and improving day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that guide online work and goal-setting
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathic feedback and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach supports exploration of relationship concerns, self-esteem, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is helpful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and managing everyday stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Practices are short and practical and can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means checking in and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
