About David
David Markowitz is a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, grief, anger, trauma, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. He also addresses issues such as parenting, career strain, bipolar mood concerns, and aging-related challenges.
He keeps sessions straightforward and interactive. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that reduce emotional intensity. He uses clear talk rather than labels and adapts conversation to each person's situation.
His background spans several clinical approaches. He draws on client-centered methods that place the person’s perspective first. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test more useful ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform work around relationship patterns and improving how partners connect.
Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas appear in some work, especially when exploring deeper patterns or imagery helps a client reflect. Sessions combine talking, practical exercises, and occasional focused guided techniques. The overall aim is to help people notice triggers, try new responses, and practice skills that lower tension.
People who want concrete tools for handling anger, reducing workplace frustration, or repairing trust in close relationships will find an emphasis on learning what works in daily life. To begin, visitors are directed to the online therapy options and a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
David commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and building a collaborative conversation to guide change. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches specific exercises to test new responses. EFT targets patterns in close relationships and helps partners notice and change the interaction cycles that fuel conflict or distance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to prioritize. That collaborative decision-making means techniques can shift as issues evolve or new needs appear.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur and then discuss what happened in the next session.
