Timothy R. Elliott, Ph.D., ABPP, is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology in the School of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University. He is a licensed psychologist and holds board certification (ABPP) in rehabilitation psychology.

His research has examined adjustment processes among persons living with chronic and disabling health conditions, with particular emphasis on the role of social problem-solving abilities and other factors that predict adjustment following disability. This work has resulted in over 200 professional publications and federal grant funding for over 15 years (including support for five randomized clinical trials). His research team pioneered the use of long-distance technologies in providing problem solving training to family caregivers of persons with acquired disabilities, including the first randomized clinical trials of a psychological intervention for family caregivers of persons with spinal cord injuries, and for family caregivers of persons with traumatic brain injuries. In 2006, he was featured in the instructional DVD entitled, Caregiving, as part of the Psychotherapy Video/DVD Series on Relationships published by American Psychological Association.

Elliott served on the Defense Health Board’s Neurological/Behavioral Health subcommittee that advises on psychological/mental health issues and neurological symptoms and conditions among service members and their families. He was a member of the Presidential Caregiver Task Force for the American Psychological Association. He served as Editor for Rehabilitation Psychology (2006-2011); currently, he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Psychology. With colleagues in public health he began Telehealth Counseling Clinic to 2008 to provide mental health services to clients in underserved counties in the Brazos Valley of Texas. It has evolved with the leadership of his protege, Dr. McCord, and is now known as the Telebehavioral Care Clinic (https://health.tamu.edu/care/telebehavioral-care/index.html). He is a recipient of several awards and honors from the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology and the Society of Counseling Psychology.
