Kenneth Markovic

Kenneth Markovic is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem challenges. He uses straightforward, person-centered care to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and take practical steps forward. Kenneth brings 14 years of hands-on clinical experience in Illinois to each session.

Before becoming a clinician, he worked in case management and school social work, including time in Chicago Public Schools and suburban districts. That background shaped his skill at supporting people under pressure and helping them adapt to fast-paced situations. He also has experience with clients facing trauma, brain injury, and recovery from toxic groups like gangs or cults.

Kenneth includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy in his work. He focuses on practical tools such as emotion regulation, thought reframing, and clearer communication. These approaches are used to address issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, body image, and chronic illness or pain.

He has worked with Hispanic and Black communities and has advocated for LGBTQIA+ people. Kenneth aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the story and choices. He helps people identify strengths and build steps that fit their life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy here focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect current connections. It helps people notice repeated relationship themes and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them as progress is made. This collaborative process helps the work fit the client rather than the other way around.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions more accessible for people managing chronic illness, caregiving duties, or tight schedules. Confirm the available session formats when you schedule so you know what to expect.
