About Mordechai

Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, changes in life, and struggles with eating and self-esteem. He practices with a calm, straightforward style. He aims to make therapy feel understandable and practical for everyday life.

He brings nine years of experience working with adults and young adults. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning new coping steps. He also addresses addiction concerns, grief, and challenges around intimacy and communication.

Mordechai uses a compassionate, collaborative approach. He works with each person to set clear goals and to try small, manageable changes between meetings. He emphasizes building self-awareness and stronger day-to-day coping skills.

His work includes helping people with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and finding direction after life transitions. He discusses topics like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation in plain language so clients can act on what they learn.

Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and he accepts international clients. As an Ohio LISW he combines practical techniques with patient listening to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier moods.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions can still offer this space to be heard and to sort out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and works on practical skills to change patterns; it often involves homework and simple behavioral experiments between sessions which translate well to remote work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with each person to decide whether a listening-focused, skills-based, or goal-directed path fits best. That collaboration includes checking goals and adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific options arent listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also makes it possible for people who live outside Ohio or in other countries to connect with a licensed professional who speaks English or Hebrew.
