About Timothy

Timothy Porter is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapy methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He focuses on creating a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard feelings. Timothy speaks plainly and works to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

He draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps with emotional regulation and coping skills when feelings feel intense. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guides emotional awareness and connection around relationship concerns and intimacy issues.

Timothy has three years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. He is licensed in Wyoming as WY LCSW LCSW-1465 and in Montana as MT LCSW BBH-LCSW-LIC-58545. He offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.

Practical matters are handled through online formats. Sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. The focus is on steady, achievable steps toward better coping and clearer priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Timothy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors to reduce stress, anxiety, and low mood. It is practical and task-oriented, useful when patterns of thinking make problems worse. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for handling intense emotions and managing impulses, which can help with anger, addiction-related behaviors, and strong mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. From there, methods are mixed or adjusted so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy in this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or other responsibilities. The variety of formats also allows people to try different ways of talking and working until they find what helps most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
