Marquise Middleton, LPC

Marquise Middleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges. He works with individuals facing grief, intimacy concerns, mood shifts such as bipolar disorder, and struggles with self-esteem. He also focuses on caregiver stress and issues around attachment and abandonment.

He uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to learn what matters most to each client. Sessions aim to identify concrete steps people can try between meetings. He mixes talk therapy with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and skills training to help manage intense emotions and worry.

Marquise brings five years of practice experience to sessions. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts pace and techniques to each person’s needs. He emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies over clinical jargon.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space where concerns are named and worked through together. Marquise pays special attention to patterns that show up in relationships and day-to-day life, such as communication difficulties, impulsive choices, or cycles of guilt and shame.

He also integrates solution-focused ideas and parts-based work from internal family systems when helpful. That combination is intended to help people set short-term goals and understand the inner parts that influence behavior. The goal is steady progress toward clearer choices and less overwhelming days.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy starts from the person’s own goals and experiences. It means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and adjusts the pace and topics to fit each session. This approach helps with mood struggles, relationship worries, and feeling heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for challenging unhelpful thinking and for trying small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal communication. People use it to handle panic, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts with clearer coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling options and any practical preferences during the initial match so sessions can be arranged to work with everyday life.
