About Tim

Tim Crosby is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with a decade of clinical experience. He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma, grief, body image, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

His background includes training in Trauma-Focused approaches alongside cognitive and behavioral methods that inform practical treatment plans. His style emphasizes client autonomy and respectful collaboration, helping people make decisions that align with their values and goals.

Tim integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused strategies, existential thinking, and elements of dialectical practice as appropriate to each person’s situation. He is also prepared to offer Christian, biblically-rooted counseling for clients who prefer that perspective, addressing topics some find difficult to raise with frankness and compassion.

Tim aims to equip clients with skills for lasting change and encourages an active, goal-oriented process that ultimately supports independence and resilience.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Tim frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be very practical for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may also be employed to develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship conflicts arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with clients to clarify goals, explore which methods feel most helpful, and adapt strategies as progress unfolds so that treatment matches personal needs and preferences.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow continuity of care across different schedules and life circumstances, making it easier to practice skills between sessions and stay engaged with therapeutic work.
