About Timothy
Timothy Dearhamer is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and an LISW with five years of professional experience in Oklahoma and Iowa. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, and related life changes. Timothy also lists support for LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy problems, career questions, and ADHD among his areas of interest.
Timothy uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what is happening now. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns that affect close relationships. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address thoughts, behaviors, and values while working with clients on practical steps.
In sessions Timothy follows a client-centered stance, listening first and adjusting the pace to what feels manageable. He pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and the impact of separation or divorce when those come up. He approaches topics such as guilt, shame, sexuality, and sexual dysfunction directly and without jargon.
Clients can expect focused conversation about goals, small experiments between sessions, and coaching around everyday stresses. Timothy notes multicultural concerns and life purpose among his areas of attention, and he includes motivational interviewing strategies when people want help with change. He invites people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Sessions are offered in English. Timothy accepts international clients and works from his listed Oklahoma practice locations.
How Timothy combines EFT and practical therapies online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with strong emotions and attachment needs in relationships. It focuses on moments when feelings and patterns keep people stuck and aims to open new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that line up with ones values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete experiments to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Timothy will collaborate with each person to decide what to try first based on their goals, current concerns, and what feels most practical. That shared decision making can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

Some formats use less bandwidth or are a simpler way to connect when a brief coaching-style visit is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, in-session conversations, and between-session tasks to the online setting to keep progress moving while accommodating everyday schedules.
