About Mordechai
Mordechai Berkowitz is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, depression, coaching, and ADHD. Mordechai works in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients.
He uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and test small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to keep work concrete and relevant to each person's goals.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused tools are also part of his approach. These help when someone feels stuck, unsure about change, or wants short-term strategies for specific problems. Mordechai often combines brief goal-setting with skill practice between sessions.
He has spent years supporting young adults and people coping with workplace stress, isolation, and communication problems. He also addresses issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, control struggles, obsessions and compulsions, and process addictions including gambling or problematic pornography use.
In the first sessions he clarifies immediate concerns and develops a focused plan. People can expect straightforward feedback, practical exercises, and follow-up goals to try between meetings. Booking begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How these approaches shape online sessions
The main approaches he uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change outcomes. Client-centered work concentrates on understanding the person's perspective and building a working relationship that supports practical change.Motivational Interviewing is also part of his toolkit. It helps when someone feels unsure about making a change by clarifying values and strengthening internal motivation through guided conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the clinical process. He works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan based on what helps in early sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so people can use a break at work or connect from another location. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know which options will be offered.
