About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. He also helps with relationships, communication problems, and the lasting impacts of toxic groups and traumatic experiences.
Before focusing on therapy, he worked in case management and school social work. That background shapes a practical approach to common life pressures. He has experience in Chicago public schools and suburban settings, helping youth manage distractions and expectations.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and existential ideas may be added when they fit the concern.
He has worked with people affected by addiction, body image concerns, trauma, grief, and neurologic injury such as traumatic brain injury. He also has experience supporting Hispanic and Black communities and has worked with LGBTQIA+ individuals and groups.
Kenneth emphasizes the person's own knowledge of their life and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. People can expect clear goals, concrete strategies to try between sessions, and regular review of what is and is not helping.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Kenneth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions online focus on clear problems, structured exercises, and homework that can be practiced between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape expectations and trust; online conversations can map patterns and try small experiments to shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and follow-up questions so the person’s priorities guide each session.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and pick methods to try. That collaborative choice is revisited as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing commute time. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know whether video or phone options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a break, try a short skills practice, or keep momentum between in-person appointments.
