About Marquise
Marquise Middleton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with five years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and social anxiety and phobia. He also supports those coping with parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, and panic symptoms.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at what is causing distress now and which skills can help reduce it. He uses methods that emphasize understanding how thoughts, emotions, and relationships interact. Clients can expect direct feedback, gentle challenge, and regular check-ins about progress.
Marquise draws from several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and choices in shaping work together.
He also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at internal parts that influence behavior. Those approaches can be useful for anxiety, panic, relationship conflict, and self-esteem issues.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. The focus is on small, usable steps that fit into busy lives. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and choices, so online sessions focus on what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work. This approach helps bring the client's priorities into each meeting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going. Clients may use homework, thought records, and behavior experiments between sessions to test what changes help.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Online meetings can teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques that clients practice during daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. That decision is shared and revisited over time.
