Timothy Welch, LPCC

Timothy Welch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than two decades of clinical experience. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people move past struggles like addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. He also writes and offers coaching tools outside the therapy room.

Timothy uses a straightforward style in sessions. He listens without judgment and helps people set clear goals. He draws on practical tools to manage stress, anger, and symptoms related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

His background includes work in independent practice, community mental health, crisis intervention, and alcohol and drug rehabilitation. He has led recovery groups and worked in settings ranging from shelters to hospice care. Timothy also wrote the books 2Bits and Grit & Gold.

In addition to counseling, he offers life coaching and sober coaching through a separate coaching platform and app. Those resources include worksheets, motivation, and accountability tools that some people use alongside therapy.

Timothy holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from John Carroll University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University. He is nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor and a National Certified Counselor, and is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC.

He accepts international clients and can work with clients who live in Ohio or Florida using insurance when applicable. To start, Timothy asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, letting the person set goals while the therapist reflects and supports growth. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people who want structured strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time.

Timothy has a Telehealth practice and also runs coaching tools through a separate app, so confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer tools and worksheets that people can use between meetings.
