Tim Crosby, LMFT

Tim Crosby is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with over 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and his practice includes work on trauma, addictions, body image, grief, and intimacy-related worries.

He describes a hands-on, practical approach. Tim uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. He also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify values and set small, manageable goals.

Tim can offer Christian, biblically-rooted counseling for people who prefer that perspective. He says he discusses sensitive or stigmatized topics directly, such as sexuality, pornography, ministry burnout, and pressures around performance. He frames therapy around clients making their own decisions and learning concrete skills to handle problems.

When trauma is part of the story, Tim uses trauma-focused methods alongside CBT to address symptoms and build coping strategies. He emphasizes teaching skills that clients can use between sessions so progress continues outside of therapy.

Practical problem solving is part of his work. He focuses on helping people change patterns, lower reactivity, and find clearer ways to communicate. To start he asks questions about goals and day-to-day routines, then chooses approaches that fit what the person wants to work on.
