Timothy Welch

Timothy Welch is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 22 years of clinical experience. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to respect each person's goals and identity. He wants to help people who feel stuck find ways forward rather than letting current struggles define them.

He has worked extensively with alcohol and drug issues and has long experience supporting people through trauma and grief. His practice includes help for anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, anger, stress, and attention difficulties. He also offers coaching and sober coaching alongside counseling work.

Timothy draws on a range of approaches and adapts them to each person. He emphasises practical tools, education, and accountability when helpful. He will listen without judgment and work together with clients to decide what approach fits their needs.

He writes about recovery and resilience in two books, 2Bits and Grit & Gold, which are available through online bookstores. He also maintains coaching resources, including a support app and a coaching platform for motivation and worksheets.

Timothy holds a Bachelor of Psychology from John Carroll University and a Master of Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University. He is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC and has national credentialing in addiction and counseling areas. He has experience across private practice, community mental health, crisis work, rehabilitation programs, and shelter and hospice settings.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people find their own solutions; it can help with self-esteem, life changes, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which often helps with intense emotions and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Timothy will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences and may blend techniques from different approaches as needed. The plan is shaped by the client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access coaching tools between sessions.
