Timothy Welch

Timothy Welch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with more than two decades of experience. He invites people to shape therapy together and focuses on practical steps to address current struggles. Timothy emphasizes empowerment, education, and encouragement as part of the work.

He has a long background in addiction care and trauma work, and has supported people through grief, mood challenges, and life transitions. Timothy also integrates help for ADHD management, stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. He describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to avoid judgment while learning each person’s story.

Timothy has worked across many settings, including private practice, community mental health, crisis intervention, hospitals, and addiction rehabilitation. He has led groups for anger management, recovery, and domestic violence, and has experience with shelters, hospice care, and programs for youth. This range informs his practical, experience-based approach.

He also offers life coaching and sober coaching through a separate coaching platform and provides a free support app with worksheets and motivation. For people living in Ohio or Florida, Timothy can accept insurance for sessions; he runs a telehealth practice as part of his clinical work.

Timothy earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from John Carroll University and a master’s degree in counseling and human development from Walsh University. He holds national board credentials in counseling and addiction work and aims to match methods to each person’s needs rather than use a single approach.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s priorities. It helps when someone wants space to tell their story and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Timothy runs a telehealth practice, so online sessions are part of his work. Confirm available session formats before booking to know what is currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Licensed professionals can use different techniques over video or phone to practice skills, review worksheets, and track changes between sessions.
