About Mordechai
Mordechai Berkowitz is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, and helping people who are searching for life purpose.
He often works with adults facing big changes - shifts in work, relationships, health, or identity. He helps people talk through communication problems, isolation, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with eating and process addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, or abandonment.
Mordechai uses straightforward, collaborative methods in sessions. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build working goals together. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when a client wants to set practical steps and stay motivated.
In a typical session he listens for recurring patterns and works with the client to try concrete changes between meetings. He frames struggles as problems to be worked on rather than fixed labels. Conversations often include behavior experiments, short-term goal setting, and reviewing what did or didn’t help since the last session.
He offers care in English and Hebrew and accepts international clients. If someone wants to explore direction after a life change, he guides practical next steps while keeping the focus on the client's goals and everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist checks in about what matters most that day and adjusts the session to the client's immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions can include reviewing thought records, planning behavior experiments, and setting homework between meetings to try new skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean leaning more on solution-focused steps for someone wanting concrete short-term change, or using CBT patterns for recurring mood and anxiety issues.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into daily life. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It also makes access possible for people living outside Ohio or in other countries while keeping the focus on usable skills and concrete progress.
