About Mordechai
Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. He brings nine years of clinical experience to conversations about self-esteem, eating concerns, addictions, and life transitions. He uses plain talk and steady support to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings. Mordechai often helps people untangle communication problems, isolation, and work-related stress.
Background and approach
His background includes work with mood disorders, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and process addictions such as pornography or gambling. He also addresses caregiver stress, issues around control and impulsivity, and complicated feelings like shame, guilt, or abandonment. Mordechai blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals.
He also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck or ambivalent. This mix aims to be collaborative and action-oriented rather than overly theoretical. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and are available online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Mordechai practices in Ohio and accepts international clients, and he can coach people seeking clearer priorities or a renewed sense of purpose.

Using practical therapies online to reach parenting and life goals
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It uses empathic listening and open questions so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. This approach helps with self-esteem, finding life purpose, and working through difficult feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks big problems into manageable steps and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, mood challenges, and some eating concerns. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on goals and small changes that move a person forward quickly.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps determine which methods fit best for parenting questions, addiction recovery, or managing stress.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let you see visual cues and do longer talks. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
