About Kenneth

Kenneth Markovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. He centers his work on building trusting, practical relationships that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

He uses approaches that encourage people to name what matters and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on skills, reflection, and clear steps you can use between meetings. Kenneth emphasizes collaboration and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

His background includes clinical therapy, case management, and school social work in Illinois. He has worked in Chicago Public Schools and suburban settings, helping young people adapt to pressure and distraction. He also has experience supporting people affected by toxic groups such as cults or gangs, and he has worked with Hispanic and Black communities as well as LGBTQIA+ individuals and groups.

Kenneth helps people dealing with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related problems, communication difficulties, chronic pain and disability, dissociation, and substance use. Traumatic brain injury is listed among the areas he has experience with. He aims to help clients rebuild motivation, strengthen relationships, and find manageable routines.

To begin, Kenneth invites people to reflect on their goals and try concrete strategies together. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that combines practical tools with honest conversation. The pace and focus are set by the client and adjusted as needs change.

How Kenneth's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. It can help with relationship worries, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead so people feel heard and understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address addictive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth collaborates with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting as progress becomes clear.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available for this therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let people use sessions while balancing work, caregiving, or medical needs. Licensed professionals use these options to help clients practice skills and make steady changes without asking you to rearrange your whole day.
