About Timothy
Dr. Timothy Tobin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience. He practices from Utah and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency among other issues.
He has a master's degree and a PsyD in clinical psychology and has extensive experience helping people with compulsive behaviors and substance-related problems. He also supports people coping with profound loss, existential questions, and conflicts around spiritual or religious beliefs. He is familiar with unusual or hard-to-explain experiences and offers a nonjudgmental place to talk about them.
In sessions he listens to a person’s story, identifies patterns that cause difficulty, and looks for practical ways to change unhelpful behaviors. He uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage mood and urge-driven actions. He also incorporates client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to support clearer communication and stronger emotional awareness.
People who struggle with setting boundaries, people-pleasing, or staying safe around another person’s drinking or chaotic behavior may find his focus on addictive and compulsive patterns relevant. He also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain and illness, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and end-of-life topics.
Dr. Tobin accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details through the site’s scheduling process.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience and helping them name what matters. This approach is useful for people who want conversational support and clearer self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and trying out new actions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. It often includes practical exercises and skills to use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or repeated impulsive behaviors.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not name specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or phone-only sessions if camera use is difficult. Ask about the session types offered so practical arrangements match daily routines.
