About Timothy
Timothy Dearhamer is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Oklahoma and an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) in Iowa with five years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. He also works with issues around intimacy, trauma and abuse, career questions, and questions about sexuality and LGBT identity.
Timothy uses clear, practical conversation to identify what is getting in the way of everyday functioning. He pays attention to thoughts, habits, and reactions that keep problems going. Sessions focus on small, testable changes clients can try between meetings and on skills that can be practiced in daily life.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed techniques. That combination is used to help people notice unhelpful thinking, tolerate difficult emotions, and improve relationship patterns. He also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s perspective.
Timothy has worked in clinical settings for five years and brings that experience into session pacing and goal setting. He can help people who are coping with life changes such as separation, career shifts, or transitions to parenthood. He also addresses issues like guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Timothy accepts international clients. For people who want straightforward, skills-based work, he lays out concrete steps and follows progress over time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Timothy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on clear, short-term exercises to change thinking patterns and to develop practical coping skills useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help when avoidance is keeping someone stuck. Attachment-based methods look at relationship patterns and emotional responses learned from early connections and help people change how they relate to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Timothy will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new issues come up.
