About Mordechai
Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He works with adults on issues like low self-esteem, eating concerns, addiction, and life changes. Mordechai uses clear, practical conversation to help people find small steps that make life easier.
He draws on client-centered work that starts with listening and understanding each person's priorities. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors in daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or mixed about change. Solution-Focused techniques guide short-term planning and quick wins.
Together these approaches help with mood difficulties, grief, compulsive behaviors, and problems with intimacy or sexual identity. Mordechai has nine years of clinical experience as an Ohio LISW. He has spent substantial time supporting young adults and people dealing with workplace stress, isolation, and communication problems.
He also works with those facing parenting strains and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and can include discussion of polyamory and non-monogamous relationships without judgment. The tone in appointments is practical and respectful, aiming to build stronger coping skills and clearer choices for everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Mordechai uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities and concerns. That approach means sessions begin with open listening, reflection, and setting goals that matter to the client. It suits people who want a respectful space to talk through feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and anxiety going. In online sessions this looks like discussing examples from the week, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing what worked. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood issues, obsessive habits, and changes in eating behavior.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to the client's goals, needs, and comfort with different methods. That collaborative planning can shift over time as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are convenient when bandwidth is low or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
