About Timothy

Timothy Dearhamer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oklahoma and an Iowa Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with five years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports clients facing career questions, ADHD, sexuality and LGBT-related concerns.

His approach is straightforward and conversational. He uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on practical ways to manage emotions and daily routines.

Timothy pays attention to communication breakdowns, family of origin issues, and the effects of divorce or separation. He helps people sort through guilt, shame, fatherhood challenges, and questions about life purpose. Work on sexual dysfunction or intimacy matters is handled with direct, respectful conversation.

He combines client-centered listening with active techniques such as motivational interviewing and behavior-focused work. That means people can expect both time to talk and concrete skills to practice. Progress is reviewed openly so the plan can shift when needed.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, and cost varies by location through a cancel-anytime subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, stress, and tough life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help people understand why certain relationship or intimacy issues repeat and how to try different approaches in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means plans can change over time based on what helps most in regular check-ins.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or remove the need to travel to an office. Ask about available session formats when you sign up so you can pick what works best for your daily life.
