About David

David Markowitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 35 years of experience. He draws on a long clinical background to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns. He keeps sessions straightforward and respectful so people can focus on change rather than labels.

He uses Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. That means he pays attention to personal stories, inner symbols, and day-to-day thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and practical, not full of jargon or theory. David adapts his pace to each person. Some clients want direct strategies to manage anxiety or cravings.

Others need time to understand patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. He works to balance short-term coping tools with deeper exploration of meaning and identity. People who turn to him often bring trauma, mood shifts such as bipolar symptoms, or struggles with substance use and codependency.

He also supports those facing aging, caregiving, hospice, and end-of-life questions. His approach addresses both immediate problems and longer-term life transitions. Sessions typically involve talking, practical homework, and gentle reflection on feelings and personal history.

He aims to make therapy a usable part of daily life, whether someone needs help with work stress, parenting strain, or rebuilding after loss.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online work

David draws on Jungian Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and recurring life themes to help people understand inner patterns and meaning. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgment so the person can find their own direction and strength. CBT emphasizes practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, mood swings, and problematic habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods, and then tailor the plan collaboratively. Many people use a mix of approaches - short-term strategies alongside deeper reflective work - and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports short check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
