About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic brings 14 years of clinical experience and an LCSW to his therapeutic work in Illinois. He grounds sessions in evidence-informed approaches, emphasizing collaboration and respect for each person's perspective while addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, anger, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
His practice also attends to attachment wounds and abandonment, relationship communication problems, and struggles with codependency or emptiness. Kenneth has a background that includes case management, clinical therapy, and school social work, and he applies that breadth to help people navigate chronic pain or illness, body image and eating concerns, substance-related difficulties, and complicated losses.
He uses a mix of approaches tailored to the situation, combining skills-based methods with deeper exploration of meaning and relational patterns to support practical change and insight. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats, and Kenneth seeks to create a supportive environment that centers the client’s strengths and goals.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and find greater clarity about the next steps in their lives.
Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational experiences shape current patterns, helping people identify and shift dynamics that contribute to anxiety, abandonment concerns, and troubled relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and addiction-related habits. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, supporting work on emptiness, life transitions, and deeper questions about purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine skills training, relational exploration, and values-focused conversation so treatment remains responsive and individualized.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make accessing care more flexible and convenient. These formats allow scheduling that fits work and family demands, offer multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools, and let clients continue work between sessions through written or real-time check-ins with licensed professionals.
