About David
David Markowitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 35 years of clinical practice. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and struggles with addiction or attention concerns. He uses a direct, respectful style and aims to create a calm space where people can talk and be heard.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not labels. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused work and elements of the Gottman Method guide conversations about closeness, communication, and repairing trust in relationships. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a tool for managing anxiety, changing habits, or calming intense reactions. Together these approaches are chosen to fit what a person needs in their life.
David aims to treat people with sensitivity and without judgment. He helps parents with parenting stress and men seeking better wellbeing find steady ways to cope. He also offers support around aging concerns, family of origin issues, and end-of-life matters.
If someone wants to start, he asks for a brief intake and a plan that reflects personal goals. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that make daily life feel more manageable.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and decide goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers simple experiments to try different responses. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and attention challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video helps with face-to-face interaction, while calls can require less bandwidth or be easier when speaking is the main priority. Licensed professionals guide the process so methods like CBT or client-centered listening transfer to remote sessions and feel practical for everyday life.
