About Kenneth

Kenneth Markovic uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW with 14 years of experience in clinical therapy, case management, and school social work in Illinois. He speaks English and draws on everyday language to make therapy understandable and accessible.

He draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions aim to build clear, workable tools that can be used between meetings. His background includes work in schools and communities, supporting people who have faced addiction, trauma, grief, and chronic health issues.

He has experience assisting people who left controlling groups or harmful social circles and has worked with Hispanic and Black communities. He has also advocated for LGBTQIA+ individuals. In sessions he centers the person’s own experience and strengths.

He listens for patterns tied to abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems. From there he helps clients set practical goals and practice skills that fit their daily life. Therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, then moves into regular meetings guided by each person’s goals and pace.

Online support

How approaches like attachment work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to identify patterns of attachment, like fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting, and to practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and homework. In virtual sessions the therapist and client can review thought records, try behavioral experiments, and set small steps to reduce anxiety or addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what felt helpful in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life, adjusting the mix of skills, talk work, and practical tasks as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for longer sessions that include detailed conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or get support when scheduling in-person meetings is difficult. These formats help people fit therapy into busy days while using the techniques discussed in sessions.
