Timothy Weaver , LMSW

Timothy Weaver is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who brings five years of clinical experience to his practice. He has worked across nonprofit organizations, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, and government-funded community mental health settings, providing both individual care and group education. Over his career he has led groups in residential facilities on topics such as anger management, opioid recovery, cognitive behavioral techniques, family dynamics, and 12-step approaches.

Timothy describes himself as a psychologist at heart, blending the ethical, systems-focused perspective of social work with behavioral and psychodynamic skills to inform his care. He focuses on a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He is experienced treating substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress, major depression, bipolar disorders, borderline personality features, and children's behavioral concerns, among other diagnoses.

His training in approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy shapes a flexible, person-centered practice. He works with clients internationally and offers a range of remote session formats to meet diverse needs while maintaining a thoughtful, ethically grounded approach to care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Timothy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility; ACT supports people working through anxiety, depression, and life changes by encouraging committed action aligned with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach he uses, focusing on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and substance-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy guides the therapeutic relationship itself, offering empathic listening and respect so clients feel heard and can explore issues like self-esteem, intimacy, or grief at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Timothy collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs. He adapts techniques from different models when appropriate, working together with clients to track progress and adjust the plan.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps integrate care into busy schedules, supports access across geographic distances, and allows different formats depending on what feels most comfortable for the client. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and tailor the experience to each individual.
