Mordechai Berkowitz, LISW

Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He practices in Ohio and speaks English and Hebrew. Mordechai focuses on everyday struggles like self-esteem, parenting concerns, and addiction-related problems.

Mordechai uses a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. He listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people spot patterns that hold them back. Sessions often include practical steps for coping with mood changes, impulse control, or eating and food-related issues.

He has nine years of experience working with adults through career stress, isolation, and communication breakdowns. That background shapes how he supports people dealing with grief, relationship intimacy concerns, and feelings of guilt or abandonment. Mordechai also offers coaching-style guidance for clients seeking clearer life purpose.

Mordechai integrates client-centered methods with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. This mix lets him balance empathy with concrete skill-building for habits and thinking patterns. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and measure progress.

People contact him about a wide range of concerns, including obsessive-compulsive patterns, process addictions, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and caregiver stress. He aims to create a respectful space where people can make steady changes and try new ways of handling hard moments.

How these approaches shape online support

Mordechai draws on client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person's priorities. That approach means the therapist focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and following the client's lead to set goals and topics of conversation.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT tools can help when addressing anxiety, depressive thinking, eating and food-related patterns, or compulsive behaviors by teaching specific skills and experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mordechai will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try sessions in a familiar setting and focus on skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and techniques to suit each person's needs and routines.
