About Timothy

Timothy Taft is a licensed social worker in Washington who helps adults facing low mood, stress, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem.

He earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2018 and has three years of professional experience.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Timothy describes his practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is behavioral work that helps people change habits and try new actions to lift mood and reduce anxiety. This type of work is useful for depression, motivation problems, and routines that get in the way of daily life.

Another useful approach centers on emotion-focused skills such as identifying feelings, naming shame or guilt, and practicing self-compassion. These skills help when people feel isolated, overwhelmed by shame, or struggle with self-esteem and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Timothy will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. He uses conversation and shared planning to adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people work with a licensed professional while living in a different region or country, keeping the focus on practical changes and steady progress.
