About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 14 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns and uses practical, skills-based work to help people manage day-to-day challenges.
He draws on experience in case management, clinical therapy, and school social work. That background includes time in Chicago Public Schools and suburban districts, helping young people cope with pressure, distraction, and fast-paced school environments. He also has experience with recovery after involvement in toxic groups such as cults and gangs.
His work addresses a broad set of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, and body image. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability, and substance use challenges. Kenneth has worked with Hispanic and Black communities and has advocated for LGBTQIA+ people.
In sessions he treats clients as the expert on their lives and focuses on building practical skills. He combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered conversation and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people change patterns and cope more effectively.
He aims to help people identify patterns that cause distress and try new ways of responding. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, coping skills, and real-world strategies that fit the person’s daily life.
BHow sessions work
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions look at how people relate, where they feel unsafe in connection, and small changes they can make to feel less reactive. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different actions. It teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behavior through practice and reflection. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which helps with intense emotions and conflicts.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kenneth will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. Together they will adjust what they do in sessions based on what helps most, whether that means skills practice, exploring attachment patterns, or structured behavior change exercises.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to have shorter check-ins when needed. It can reduce travel time, allow sessions during lunch breaks, and let someone use audio-only if that is easier. These practical benefits aim to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than add more disruption.
