The Dr. John Delony Show

Dr. Delony holds two PhDs from Texas Tech University in Counselor Education and Supervision and Higher Education Administration. He is not a licensed clinical therapist in private practice and his show and books are explicitly educational, not therapeutic. He openly refers callers to licensed professionals when clinical care is appropriate. A forum thread from clinical professionals has raised questions about the blurring of coaching and therapy in his public positioning. A legitimate distinction worth understanding before treating his content as a clinical resource.

Dr. Delony has published three major work, Redefining Anxiety (2020), a short accessible introduction to what anxiety is and isn't, Own Your Past, Change Your Future (2022), his first national bestseller covering trauma, relationships, and taking ownership of your mental health story; and Building a Non-Anxious Life (2023), his second national bestseller outlining six daily choices for reducing chronic anxiety. Most listeners start with Building a Non-Anxious Life as the most practically structured entry point.

The show is caller-driven real people call in with real problems and Dr. Delony works through them live on air, offering both practical guidance and emotional validation. This format makes it unusually concrete compared to interview-based mental health podcasts. Episodes cover relationship conflicts, anxiety management, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and the psychological dimension of financial stress. New episodes publish multiple times per week through Ramsey Solutions.
