About Timothy
LCSW and LISW in Oklahoma and Iowa with 5 years of experience, Timothy Dearhamer works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and related issues. He also supports clients dealing with intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, depression, ADHD, and sexuality. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Timothy uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He adapts conversations and interventions to the situation at hand. Expect practical steps as well as space to talk through feelings and patterns that keep problems recurring.
In early sessions he focuses on understanding what matters most to the person in front of him and what is getting in the way. He helps identify small, concrete changes to try between meetings. For relationship or intimacy concerns he pays attention to patterns between partners and to how emotions get expressed.
For issues like parenting, fatherhood, or family of origin concerns he works to untangle role expectations and communication breakdowns. When trauma or abuse is part of the history, he moves at a pace the client finds manageable while addressing current symptoms and coping skills.
Timothy frames work as collaborative coaching and therapy. He will discuss goals, track progress, and adjust methods if something is not helping. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then decide what values they want to move toward. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions are expressed in close relationships and aims to shift interaction patterns to improve connection.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together if something is not helpful. That collaborative process guides whether more ACT, CBT, EFT, or attachment-focused work is used.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and other obligations.
