About Timothy
Dr. Timothy Tobin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 30 years of experience. He holds an MA and a PsyD in clinical psychology and works with adults on concerns such as addictions, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and family of origin issues.
He often helps people dealing with compulsive behaviors like substance use or gambling that cause problems in daily life. He also works with those coping with trauma, profound loss, or shifts in belief and meaning. Some clients bring unusual or hard-to-explain experiences for discussion and processing.
In sessions he uses practical, conversation-based methods. He draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thinking patterns, and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Emotion-focused ideas and existential questions about meaning also appear when they fit the issue.
Dr. Tobin aims to help people name patterns coming from their family of origin and how those patterns affect relationships now. He talks through concrete steps for changing unhelpful habits and for improving communication. He will often combine learning new skills with talking about painful experiences so change feels grounded in everyday life.
People who choose to work with him usually want straightforward discussion and practical tools alongside deeper reflection about purpose and values. He accepts international clients and conducts his practice from Utah. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can explore what matters most. Online sessions let that conversation continue when in-person meetings are impractical and support ongoing verbal processing of family patterns, grief, or confusing experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Online work can include homework, thought records, and brief skills practice between sessions to reinforce change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skill sets can be taught and practiced remotely and used when strong feelings, relationship conflicts, or compulsive behaviors arise.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust techniques together so sessions match the client’s needs and preferences.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins, or make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Ask about format options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
