About David

David Markowitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 35 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He has supported people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and career challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

His work also covers aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, substance-related issues, family-of-origin and fatherhood concerns, end-of-life counseling, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. His manner in session is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

He integrates client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, the Gottman method for relational work, and hypnotherapy when appropriate, tailoring the conversational style and treatment plan to each person’s needs. David emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

He invites individuals who are ready to pursue greater fulfillment to reach out and begin the process of change. David aims to provide steady support and empowerment as clients work toward clearer goals and improved coping skills.

Integrating proven approaches into online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes collaboration and empathic listening, giving clients space to guide the goals while the therapist offers support and validation; this approach helps when people need to build self-awareness and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and teaching practical coping strategies, which is useful for anxiety, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganize emotional responses, commonly used for relationship and attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. David works together with each person to assess needs, consider goals and preferences, and adapt techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than imposing a single method. That collaborative process helps clarify which strategies will be emphasized over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent meetings without geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to use the same talk-based methods, skills training, and homework practices as in-person care while fitting therapy into varied lifestyles and routines.
