Timothy Welch, LPCC

Timothy Welch is a seasoned clinical counselor in Ohio with 22 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes. He frames therapy as a collaborative process - working alongside clients to clarify goals, build skills, and create practical steps toward change. He aims to empower, encourage, and educate so that current struggles do not define a person's future.

His practice focuses on alcohol and drug recovery, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD for adolescents and adults, family and relationship concerns, self-esteem, anger and stress management, and life transitions. He also addresses a wide range of related issues including intimacy, parenting, career challenges, caregiving stress, and body image. In addition to clinical counseling, he offers life coaching and sober coaching with tools and accountability available through his coaching platform and app at actuallyiCAN.org and actuallyiCAN.app.

He is the author of the books 2Bits and Grit & Gold and maintains a telehealth practice while seeing clients in private practice. He accepts insurance for sessions for clients who live in Ohio or Florida and is available to work with international clients by remote appointment. He holds an LPCC license and has national certifications in addiction counseling and counseling through recognized credentialing bodies. His academic training includes a Bachelor of Psychology from John Carroll University and a Master of Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University.

Welch brings experience from settings that include private practice, community mental health, crisis intervention, hospital work, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, employee assistance programs, group work for domestic violence and anger management, shelters for youth, hospice care, and work with terminally ill children. He seeks to listen without judgment, adapt approaches to individual needs, and support people in moving through adversity toward meaningful change.
