About David

David Markowitz is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 35 years of experience. He draws on a long clinical history to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, and relationship or parenting concerns. He keeps sessions focused and practical, so people know what to expect each week.

His background includes work across mood and behavior concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance issues. He also supports people coping with major life changes, end-of-life questions, aging concerns, and family-of-origin patterns.

Background and approach

That breadth gives him a useful perspective when problems overlap. In session he uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches. Hypnotherapy is part of his toolkit and can be offered when it suits a person’s goals.

He adapts methods to match each person’s needs rather than following a single script. David aims for a warm, respectful style. Conversations are interactive and geared toward real change.

He avoids labeling and works to create straightforward goals you can work on between sessions. People who choose him often want clear direction plus space to tell their story. He guides skill-building for coping, communication, and problem solving while paying attention to personal values and relationships.

Online support

How approaches like hypnotherapy and CBT work online

Hypnotherapy is a tool that can help people reduce stress reactions and build focused coping skills. In plain terms it uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help someone change habits, reduce anxiety, or shift unhelpful patterns when that fits their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and addiction concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. It supports people who want clearer emotional understanding and improved connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can fit brief updates, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
