Mordechai Berkowitz, LISW

Mordechai Berkowitz is a licensed independent social worker who focuses on helping people untangle unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. He supports adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Mordechai is direct but warm, aiming to make therapy feel practical and manageable for busy lives.

He often helps clients through life changes, grief, and challenges around intimacy and communication. He also works with people facing addictions, eating and food-related issues, and ADHD-related concerns. Mordechai draws on nine years of clinical experience in Ohio to guide these conversations.

In sessions he pays attention to patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. He uses approaches that help people test new ways of responding and build habits that fit their goals. Sessions often focus on small experiments and skills that can be used between meetings.

Mordechai also supports those coping with caregiver stress, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and struggles with impulsivity or obsessive behaviors. He brings a respectful stance to topics of sexual orientation and non-monogamous relationships when they are relevant to a client’s life.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances practical tools with personal exploration. He offers services in English and Hebrew and works with international clients as well. To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Mordechai blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and daily habits. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and focuses on what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioral work looks at specific thoughts and actions, and tests small changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.

He also uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about making changes. That approach helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation in a nonjudgmental way. Together these methods are practical and collaborative, so the therapist and client decide what to try based on needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mordechai will discuss options and tailor techniques to a client's preferences, symptoms, and everyday life. The work is a partnership where goals and methods are checked and adjusted over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow faster check-ins when that suits a client's routine. It can also support steady follow-up for habit changes and thought-work between meetings.
