About Marquise
Marquise Middleton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and mood-related conditions including bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
He draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs and values, emphasizing collaboration and practical skills alongside emotional understanding. His work emphasizes listening with empathy and creating a clear, personalized plan that reflects each client’s goals and pace.
Marquise integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address thought and behavior patterns, along with client-centered principles that prioritize the client's experience and voice, and skills-based strategies for emotional regulation and communication. With five years of professional experience, he aims to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and navigate difficult transitions without prescribing one fixed path to change.
Marquise accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. He frames therapy as a partnership in which progress is measured by the client’s priorities, and he supports people through both immediate problems and longer-term growth.
Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support
Marquise frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more adaptive behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and many mood-related concerns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client's experience and creates space for empathy, validation, and the client’s own problem-solving; this approach supports building insight and self-directed change. When emotional regulation or intense reactions are central, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are integrated to teach concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion management, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is collaborative and explored together. The therapist works with each person to consider goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, and then adapts methods over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy with Marquise is offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations. These options allow for flexible scheduling, the ability to revisit written exchanges or homework, and different ways to practice skills between sessions, all of which support steady progress toward client-defined goals.
