David Markowitz

David Markowitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 35 years of experience. He works with people facing worry, grief, relationship strain, addiction, and major life transitions. His manner is warm and interactive, and he focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental care.

He helps people talk through anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. He also supports those coping with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, career stress, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. He includes end-of-life and hospice conversations when those concerns arise.

In sessions he listens first and adapts the work to each person. He blends client-centered conversation with practical tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches. Emotion-focused ideas and relationship skills also appear when they match a person's goals.

Plans are kept straightforward and tailored. Expect a mix of exploring what matters, learning coping strategies, and practicing new ways to handle difficult moments. Hypnotherapy and Jungian-influenced perspectives are available when appropriate.

David aims to help people take steady steps toward a more manageable life. He supports parents, professionals, and others wanting clearer thinking, calmer responses, or better relationships. If someone is ready to begin, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is often helpful for people who need a caring space to sort feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It emphasizes practical skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. People often use CBT when they want concrete tools to manage symptoms.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, zeroes in on emotional patterns in close relationships. It helps people name emotions and shift how they connect with others, which can ease conflict and increase trust.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which ideas to use and when to try something different.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Some people prefer video for face-to-face feeling while others choose audio for a quicker or lower-bandwidth session; check the available options with the service when scheduling.
