About Me

High-achieving professionals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and work-life balance - and practitioners wanting to develop successful private practices while serving achievement-oriented clients - can need more than traditional approaches to address the unique challenges faced by driven individuals who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally. Timothy Cassidy has built his career around this intersection of business acumen and clinical expertise, becoming a sought-after expert who understands both the mindset of high performers and the business strategies needed to build thriving therapeutic practices.

As CEO and Co-founder of Online CE Credits and Licensed Professional Counselor specialising in high-performing individuals, Cassidy brings unique expertise that bridges business leadership with clinical practice. His MBA from University of Central Oklahoma combined with his MA in Mental Health Counseling from University of Missouri–Kansas City, demonstrates his exceptional ability to excel in both business and clinical domains. His 15+ years of federal government leadership experience, including roles as Program Analyst and Logistics Management Specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration, gives him deep understanding of high-pressure professional environments and organisational dynamics.

Cassidy's expertise spans anxiety disorders in high achievers, trauma and PTSD, ADHD assessment and treatment, family systems therapy, business psychology, and what he calls "achievement-oriented therapy" for driven individuals. His approach recognises that high-performing clients often face unique challenges - including imposter syndrome, perfectionism, work-life integration difficulties, and relationship issues stemming from their driven nature - that require specialised interventions from someone who understands their world. He specialises in working with executives, entrepreneurs, graduate students, young professionals in transition, and practitioners wanting to develop both clinical excellence and business success.

What sets his training apart is business expertise combined with clinical insight. Cassidy doesn't just teach therapy techniques - he shows practitioners how to build sustainable practices while understanding the specific needs of achievement-oriented clients. His development of Online CE Credits demonstrates his ability to create successful businesses that serve the mental health community, while his clinical specialisation reflects deep understanding of high-performer psychology.

For your practice, expect to gain specific techniques for working with high-achieving clients, tools for building successful therapeutic practices, and frameworks for understanding the intersection of business psychology and clinical work. His approach particularly benefits practitioners wanting to specialise in serving professionals and executives, those interested in practice development, or clinicians seeking to understand how business principles enhance rather than compete with therapeutic excellence.

Quick Win: Cassidy's "achievement recalibration" technique helps high-performing clients identify when their drive becomes counterproductive - helping provide relief from chronic stress while assisting them to channel their achievement orientation more effectively toward both success and well-being.
