About Marquise
Marquise Middleton is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Missouri who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. He supports people facing relationship and family strains, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like low self-esteem or isolation. Marquise uses clear, practical language and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried or tired.
He builds sessions around each person's goals and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Meetings focus on what is happening now and on skills that make daily life easier. Marquise draws on person-centered listening to create a respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
He also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy methods are added when emotion regulation or intense states become overwhelming. These approaches are blended with solution-focused work to identify small, concrete changes that can help quickly.
Internal Family Systems ideas inform work on attachment, abandonment concerns, and complex feelings tied to relationships. Marquise has five years of experience and keeps sessions straightforward and goal oriented. He welcomes people who want practical tools, gentle challenge, and a steady partner while they work through panic, anxiety, or life transitions.
If you are unsure where to begin, he asks simple questions and helps set clear, short-term steps to try between sessions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation starts with the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with panic, anxiety, and mood patterns by teaching hands-on skills people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods feels most useful and will adapt that plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before you book so you know what formats are available. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins when life is busy. Some people prefer shorter, focused sessions for skill practice while others use regular longer meetings for deeper processing. The therapist will help match session rhythm to your needs so therapy fits into everyday life.
