Kenneth Markovic

Kenneth Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. He centers Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment and client-centered approaches to help people heal from painful experiences and rebuild everyday functioning. Kenneth speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings.

He draws on work across clinical therapy, case management, and school social work. That background includes helping people cope with anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. He has also supported those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, body image concerns, chronic health challenges, and substance use issues.

Kenneth has experience with recovery from toxic group involvement such as cults and gangs. He has worked with youth in Chicago Public Schools and suburban districts to address pressure, distraction, and motivation. He has long-standing experience supporting Hispanic and Black communities and identifies as an ally to LGBTQIA+ individuals.

In sessions he treats each person as the expert in their life. He listens for strengths and builds goals that fit daily routines. Therapy sessions focus on clear strategies - like skill practice, behavior changes, and step-by-step problem solving - rather than jargon.

People who choose him can expect a steady, respectful approach that combines Trauma-Focused Therapy, attachment work, and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. He works to make progress feel manageable and relevant to the client’s life.

How trauma-informed and attachment work fit into online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic events. It helps people learn skills to manage intense memories, reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life, and regain a sense of control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and coping in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. That process often blends trauma-focused strategies with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools so the plan fits the person rather than the reverse.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals adapt pace and practice for remote work, offering skill teaching, emotional processing, and goal planning that translate into everyday routines.
