Timmy Marrinan Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)

Anxiety can show up as constant overthinking, physical tension, avoidance, perfectionism, or the sense that something is about to go wrong. I help clients understand what keeps anxiety going, separate discomfort from actual danger, and practice more workable responses. Our work may include grounding skills, examining anxious predictions, gradually approaching avoided situations, and finding practical ways to move forward even when anxiety is present.

Depression can make everyday responsibilities feel unusually heavy and leave you disconnected from motivation, enjoyment, or hope. I help clients understand the patterns surrounding their depression without treating them as lazy or broken. Together, we may work on reducing isolation, responding differently to self-critical thoughts, rebuilding structure and meaningful activity, and identifying small steps that remain realistic when energy is limited.

Many men have learned to minimize what they feel, solve problems alone, or wait until things become unmanageable before asking for support. I offer a straightforward space to discuss stress, anger, anxiety, relationships, identity, confidence, loneliness, or feeling stuck without judgment or pressure to talk a certain way. We can examine the expectations you carry, build practical skills, and develop a version of strength that allows for honesty, flexibility, and connection.

Person-centered counseling provides the foundation for how I work. I believe you are the expert on your own life and deserve to be understood rather than treated like a problem to fix. I aim to offer an honest, respectful, and nonjudgmental relationship where you can speak openly and make sense of your experience. Instead of imposing a direction, we collaborate on goals and shape counseling around what feels useful and meaningful to you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we may identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test assumptions, develop more balanced perspectives, and change behaviors that keep a problem going. I use CBT collaboratively rather than simply telling you to “think positively,” with an emphasis on practical strategies you can apply outside the counseling room.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients change how they relate to difficult thoughts and emotions rather than waiting for them to disappear. We may practice noticing thoughts without automatically obeying them, making room for discomfort, clarifying what matters, and taking small actions that reflect those values. ACT can be especially useful when anxiety, avoidance, self-criticism, or uncertainty is keeping you stuck.
