About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. He focuses on helping men navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. He presents himself as a practical, down-to-earth clinician who listens first and offers clear next steps.
He draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people understand patterns in relationships and to build on their own strengths. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT-informed skills to manage strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small changes that fit into daily life.
Before clinical work he did case management and school social work in Illinois. That background shaped his approach to practical problem solving, coordinating supports, and helping people cope with pressure and change. He also has experience helping people recover from involvement in toxic groups and supporting diverse communities, including Hispanic and Black individuals, and LGBTQIA+ people.
In sessions he invites clients to define their goals and to try approaches that match their needs. He frames clients as the expert in their story and offers guidance, skill-building, and advocacy when needed. People who want straightforward conversation about behavior, relationships, or coping strategies will find his style accessible.

How his approaches fit with online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on connection, trust, and how to build steadier relationships in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering reflective listening and collaborative goal setting to help someone find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and he encourages regular check-ins on what is or isn't helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that's helpful. It also lets people use sessions when they have quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth without requiring a full in-person visit. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your life and goals.
