About Mordechai
Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes. He holds an OH LISW and brings nine years of clinical experience to each session.

His practice focuses on short-term goals and practical steps. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship.
How Mordechai works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behavior changes that can reduce symptoms over time. Mordechai also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, achievable goals and identify small shifts that add up.
These methods are mixed to match each person's needs and preferences. Sessions often include talking through recent events, trying small experiments between meetings, and checking which strategies are helping. Mordechai aims to make plans that fit real life and daily routines.
He supports people working through grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, compulsive behaviors, and questions about life purpose. People can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. The overall goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better coping tools.
Mordechai frames progress as gradual steps tailored to each person's situation and goals.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Mordechai often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, respect, and helping the person feel understood, which sets the tone for collaborative work online or on the phone.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions typically involve setting specific goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and reviewing what worked - a format that adapts well to video, phone, or messaging work.
Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. Mordechai will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility. Video suits deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a steady course of care.
