About Marquise
Marquise Middleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. He also supports people facing relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Marquise works with adults who want practical tools and steady support while they sort things out.
He keeps conversations direct and compassionate. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Marquise uses plain language and concrete steps so parents and individuals can try small changes between meetings. His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals.
This mix helps people reduce overwhelm and make clearer choices. With five years of experience as an LPC in Missouri, Marquise brings steady, practical experience rather than jargon. He listens for patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or communication breakdowns and helps people try different ways of responding.
People working with him can expect check-ins on progress, skills practice, and adjustments when something isn’t working. He aims to make therapy a usable part of everyday life, especially for parents juggling responsibilities and emotional strain.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for busy people
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so the conversation stays relevant to the person's life and goals. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and offers concrete exercises to change them. It is useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, panic, and everyday stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help with mood swings and panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ideas. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options give flexibility for parents and working people to access therapy in ways that match their schedule and comfort.
