About Timothy
Dr. Timothy Tobin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 30 years of experience. He practices from Utah and works with adults on concerns such as anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He has a long clinical background helping people manage compulsive behaviors like substance use and gambling. He also supports people processing powerful life events, including loss, spiritual or religious conflicts, and difficult or unusual experiences that can be hard to explain. He aims to make it easier to talk about experiences that feel strange or embarrassing.
In sessions he talks through what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and what practical steps could reduce distress. He uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused strategies. He pays attention to how habits, thinking, and relationships interact with strong feelings such as anger.
Dr. Tobin describes therapy as collaborative and direct. He helps people sort priorities, try new ways of reacting, and build skills to manage intense moments. He also offers support for end-of-life issues, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.
People who choose him can expect a focus on concrete problems and practical strategies alongside space to talk about meaning and worldview shifts. He accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Dr. Tobin uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can be useful when anger ties into relationships or life changes.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and offers concrete skills for handling triggers, stress, and reactive behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) supplies skills for tolerating intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness when anger causes conflict.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the client’s situation. That collaborative selection helps keep sessions focused on practical change and clearer coping strategies.
The therapist’s profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people work with a licensed professional from another location when international sessions are appropriate.
