About Robert

Robert Markovic has worked in independent practice since 1986. He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and brings 35 years of experience to sessions in California. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and depression.

Robert specializes in the spectrum of anxiety issues, including panic attacks, social anxiety, specific phobias, and generalized worry. He also helps clients who struggle with control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at reducing distress and restoring everyday functioning. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques as a frequent part of his work. CBT offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety and panic.

Robert also brings a long personal practice of meditation into sessions when it fits a client's needs and preferences. Sessions tend to combine skill-building with reflective work. That might mean practicing breathing or grounding skills, trying exposure steps for fears, and talking through self-critical thoughts.

He supports clients in finding small, manageable steps that build confidence over time. Robert approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He listens to what worries a person now, outlines simple strategies, and adjusts the work based on progress.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on what helps most in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Robert frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety and panic. CBT often involves setting clear goals, practicing exposure to feared situations in small steps, and building new coping skills that reduce distress.

He also draws on mindfulness and meditation practices from his long personal practice. These techniques teach simple attention and breathing exercises that can lower physiological arousal and help people respond to worry more calmly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit a person's goals, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. That collaborative process helps tailor strategies for each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls are helpful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
