About Timothy McIntyre

Timothy McIntyre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has built a career helping people find their voice within themselves and their relationships. He emphasizes a relational approach, attending to the thoughts, beliefs, and recurring patterns that contribute to everyday distress and interfere with connection. He works with individuals to examine how they have adapted to life - identifying what strategies still serve them and what habits or assumptions may no longer be useful.

McIntyre has provided psychotherapy for a wide variety of concerns and populations for over 20 years and began private practice in 1991. He earned a Master in Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago and practices as an LCSW in Missouri and Illinois, bringing training and experience from both private practice and group practice settings. His background also includes work in corporate environments, which has informed his understanding of workplace stress and career-related pressures.

Timothy focuses on relationship and family issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, coaching, stress and anxiety, LGBT and intimacy-related concerns, eating and parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, and depression. He also addresses attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and family of origin dynamics as part of a broader, relational approach to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Timothy McIntyre draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the work - it is especially helpful for exploring identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical approach that examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Timothy works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the therapeutic focus and personalized care that guide in-person work.
