About Timothy Welch
Timothy Welch, LPCC, is a licensed professional counselor in Ohio who helps people navigate difficult seasons with respect, collaboration, and a steady focus on each person’s goals. He recognizes that starting therapy can feel intimidating, and he approaches the process as a two-way street where therapist and client work together to decide what is most helpful. He believes that present emotional struggles do not have to define what comes next, and his aim is to empower, encourage, and educate clients as they move toward resolution and growth.
With more than two decades of counseling experience and a current private practice, Timothy supports clients facing alcohol and drug concerns, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, work stress, spirituality struggles, ADHD management for adults and adolescents, teen challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, anger, and stress management. He has extensive experience helping people pursue recovery from substance use and working through the impact of trauma and loss, while also addressing family, relationship, marriage, and divorce stressors.

In addition to counseling, he provides life coaching and sober coaching with tools, accountability, and support through his coaching platform and app, including resources at actuallyiCAN.org and a free support app at actuallyiCAN.app for motivation, pre-support, worksheets, and encouragement.
He strives to learn from each person’s story with an open mind, without presuming to know or judge anyone based on what they have been through. Timothy is nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor and as a National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors, and he is a Licensed Professional Independent Counselor in Ohio. His education includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from John Carroll University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University. His background spans private practice, community mental health, crisis intervention and hospitalizations, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, EAP, DOT, domestic violence groups, anger management groups, recovery groups, group homes for troubled youth, case management, a shelter for runaway street youth in New York, Harlem and California, hospice for AIDS patients, and a terminally ill children’s floor.
Timothy’s goal is to draw on his training and broad experience to help clients navigate whatever feels like it is holding them back, with the understanding that people can get through adversity and that no single approach works for everyone.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Timothy Welch, LPCC, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting, especially when sessions are tailored to what the client is facing day to day.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the client’s perspective, values, and goals lead the work. It can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, and it emphasizes respect, collaboration, and steady forward movement.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practice new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by building practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can support clients who want more stability, healthier communication, and better strategies for getting through hard moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Timothy works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and adjust the focus based on needs, preferences, and what is working over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility: clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent with support even during busy or changing schedules.
