About
Timothy Welch is an LPCC in Ohio who brings 22 years of counseling experience to people who may feel unsure about starting therapy. He approaches the work with respect for each person’s identity and goals, and he views therapy as a collaborative process where therapist and client decide together what is most helpful. He aims to support people in moving through current emotional struggles without letting those challenges define what comes next.
In private practice and through telehealth, Timothy works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD support for adults and adolescents, anger and stress management, self-esteem, life transitions, and challenges related to work, spirituality, and relationships, including marriage and divorce. He also has extensive experience supporting recovery from alcohol and drug use and helping individuals process loss and traumatic experiences.
Beyond counseling, Timothy offers life coaching and sober coaching with tools, accountability, and ongoing support through his coaching platform and app, including resources for motivation and worksheets. He is the author of 2Bits and Grit & Gold, available through online bookstores.
His background includes work in private practice, community mental health, crisis intervention and hospitalizations, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, EAP, DOT settings, domestic violence and anger management groups, recovery groups, group homes for troubled youth, case management, a shelter for runaway street youth in New York, Harlem, and California, hospice for AIDS patients, and a terminally ill children’s floor. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from John Carroll University and a Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University. He is also nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor and National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors, and he is a Licensed Professional Independent Counselor in Ohio.
Practical Online Therapy Using Evidence-Informed Approaches
Timothy Welch draws from several established approaches and adapts the work to what each person is facing. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, respectful space where goals are shaped around the client’s values and pace, which can be especially helpful when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies for noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new responses, often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people navigating intense feelings, relationship strain, or major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Timothy works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and how they prefer to work, then adjusts the plan to fit their needs and goals over time.
Online therapy makes that support more accessible and flexible. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging, which may be a good fit for busy schedules, travel, or times when writing feels easier than speaking.How much experience does Timothy Welch have?
