About Timothy
Dr. Timothy Tobin is an LPC and LCMHC with 30 years of clinical experience. He is based in Utah and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes.
He supports individuals dealing with compulsive behaviors and substance issues. He also talks with people who have experienced profound loss, spiritual or religious conflicts, or unusual and hard-to-explain experiences. He invites straightforward conversation about topics that can feel difficult to share with a clinician.
Dr. Tobin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotion-focused approaches. That means sessions often look at thinking patterns and practical habits, then test different ways of responding. He also uses techniques to clarify values and emotional responses when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Sessions tend to be direct and practical. He helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings and checks on what helps. The focus is on concrete strategies for managing anxiety, cravings, low mood, or relationship stress.
His background includes long-term clinical work with addictions and trauma, plus training at the doctoral level in clinical psychology. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To schedule a first session, clients use the site matching and scheduling tools described below.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Tobin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes aimed at reducing anxiety, low mood, and compulsive habits. Client-Centered Therapy informs his focus on listening and following what matters to the person, which helps shape goals and next steps. He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for strong reactions and cravings.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts exercises and homework to match those goals. That way the work stays practical and relevant to everyday challenges.
