About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 14 years of experience. He offers clinical therapy informed by prior roles in case management and school social work. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns among others.
He draws on work with individuals, groups, and classrooms in Chicago-area public schools. That background shaped how he helps people manage pressure, distractions, and fast-paced environments. He also has experience helping people step away from toxic groups and supporting people navigating recovery from addiction.
His approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and identifying patterns that keep problems active. He uses tools to reduce reactivity, notice triggers, and practice different responses when anger or frustration rises.
Kenneth combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive and behavioral tools. He also uses client-centered conversation and some dialectical behavior strategies when strong emotions are present. Existential themes come up when people want to clarify values and meaning.
People can expect a direct and practical style that emphasizes strengths and small, manageable changes. He has worked with Hispanic and Black communities and has a history advocating for LGBTQIA+ people. Sessions are conducted in English in Illinois and follow his LCSW scope of practice.
To begin, clients typically complete an intake so goals and concrete steps can be set. He aims to help people reduce tension, respond differently to anger, and rebuild more reliable routines and relationships.
How his approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships that make anger and mistrust recur. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can shape goals. It helps people clarify what they want to change and builds momentum for small steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical skills, reviewing what helps, and adjusting methods as needed so sessions stay useful.
Session formats and exact options are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday break, or avoiding camera use when someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals use these flexible arrangements to help clients practice new responses, rehearse conversations, and bring real situations into therapy for hands-on work.
