About Mordechai

Mordechai Berkowitz brings a client-centered, practical approach to therapy, blending empathy with evidence-based strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Mordechai emphasizes collaboration and focused skill-building so clients can develop clearer coping habits and improved emotional regulation. His work encompasses a broad range of concerns including mood disorders, addiction and process addictions, eating and food-related issues, self-esteem and identity questions, and the particular challenges that accompany grief, isolation, and communication breakdowns.

He also supports people navigating intimacy-related issues, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, parenting pressures, and questions about life purpose. Mordechai applies practical interventions like cognitive behavioral techniques alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help clients set goals and track progress.

Fluent in English and Hebrew, he offers flexible formats for connection and accepts international clients. Mordechai aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns of thought and behavior, work toward specific goals, and build more resilient ways of coping with everyday stresses and longer-term challenges.

Practical Approaches for Online Progress

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients feel heard and understood while they explore their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior into manageable parts and provides concrete tools for addressing anxiety, mood symptoms, and unhelpful habits. Motivational interviewing aims to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and supporting commitment to specific steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. That collaborative stance helps clients stay involved in shaping their care and tracking progress toward meaningful objectives.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, homework, and regular check-ins in a way that matches each client’s routine and communication style.
