About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience. He offers practical, down-to-earth help for stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He writes and talks plainly to make the work easier to follow.
He uses talk-based methods that focus on how relationships and life events shape feelings and behavior. Kenneth draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns from early relationships. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
In sessions he takes a collaborative, person-centered stance. That means he listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. He often mixes skills practice with guided reflection so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
His background includes case management, clinical therapy, and school social work in Illinois. He has worked in Chicago-area schools and with people recovering from harmful group experiences. That experience informs his attention to safety, trust, and rebuilding routine.
Kenneth also brings experience supporting people facing complex issues like addiction, trauma, chronic health challenges, and body image concerns. He frames progress as steady effort rather than sudden fixes, and he helps people build practical tools for day-to-day life. People who choose him can expect straightforward language, structured skill practice, and a focus on what matters most to their day-to-day functioning.
How approaches like attachment and CBT work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotion. Online work often focuses on naming those patterns and trying new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. In remote sessions this often includes short exercises and between-session practice to try at home. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication which can be useful when stress or anger feels overwhelming.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will help you figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. He uses a collaborative process - listening first, then suggesting techniques and checking in to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to keep up with while you work on stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, or relationship patterns.
