About David
David Markowitz is a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He offers steady, practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. He speaks English and works with clients both in Missouri and internationally.
Markowitz keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He favors a warm, conversational style and avoids stigmatizing labels. People can expect a therapist who listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps to meet them.
Background and approach
His approach pulls from several therapy methods to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to be heard and to build on their strengths.
He also draws from Emotionally-Focused methods and relationship-focused tools when intimacy or communication are central concerns. Markowitz has supported clients through trauma, parenting struggles, career transitions, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. He also addresses aging and end-of-life questions, autism spectrum concerns, codependency, and substance-related problems.
Sessions are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. People work through a short intake and then choose between video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a brief matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions based on availability.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what someone says, highlights strengths, and helps the person set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused work concentrates on feelings and relational patterns to improve connection and reduce reactive behavior.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they can try one method or blend elements from different approaches until the best fit emerges.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are convenient for shorter updates, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
