About Timothy
Timothy Taft is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as low motivation, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Tim addresses problems people bring around work, relationships, and identity. He pays attention to practical barriers a person faces and to day-to-day habits that make stress worse. He also helps people who are dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, mood swings, panic, or workplace strain.
His practice includes conversations about guilt, shame, forgiveness, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. He will talk through what is getting in the way of confidence and what small steps might shift routine patterns. Sessions are focused and oriented toward finding workable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Tim completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Washington in 2018. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on his experience providing mental health services to adults since graduating. He generally aims to respond to messages within 24 hours on weekdays and the next Monday for weekend messages.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event may find him useful for sorting priorities and testing practical next steps. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Tim uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and shift it toward clearer, more workable patterns; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing how someone responds to stress. Another frequent focus is behavioral strategies that break large problems into small, manageable steps, which is useful for motivation, procrastination, and building confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options with the client, test what fits, and adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps point toward approaches that feel practical and relevant.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so work and care responsibilities are easier to manage. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling details during the matching process so sessions align with daily routines and commitments.
