About Timothy
Timothy Welch is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than two decades of experience. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, meeting people where they are and working with them to set clear, realistic goals. Timothy focuses on practical steps that help reduce distress and build skills for everyday life.
He has long experience supporting people facing addiction and recovery, trauma and loss, depression, anxiety, and bipolar mood concerns. He also helps with stress, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD management for adults. His background includes work in community mental health, crisis intervention, substance rehabilitation, and group settings.
Timothy uses a mix of familiar approaches that suit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. He draws on client-centered ideas to listen and reflect what matters most. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation when needed.
In addition to counseling, he offers life and sober coaching options and has authored two books, 2Bits and Grit & Gold. He operates a telehealth practice and can work with people who live in Ohio or Florida using insurance when applicable. International clients are accepted; sessions are conducted in English.
Timothy emphasizes learning from each person’s story and keeping an open mind. He aims to provide encouragement, practical tools, and accountability so people can move past what is holding them back and toward the changes they want.
How Timothy's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people state their own goals. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through what matters most and set steps the client can try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online session, the therapist and client can work through thought patterns, plan experiments, and use worksheets or exercises to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online meetings can include coaching on breathing, grounding, and communication strategies a person can practice in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Timothy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. He aims to match methods to each person’s needs and to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using digital worksheets, recorded coaching prompts, and other tools between appointments to keep momentum between sessions.
