About Kenneth
Kenneth Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker who blends somatic awareness with practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He draws on 14 years of experience in clinical therapy, case management, and school social work in Illinois.
Kenneth approaches sessions with calm attention to both body sensations and thoughts to help people feel steadier in daily life. He helps people untangle difficult relationship patterns rooted in attachment and abandonment concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports those facing communication difficulties, codependency, or the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. His work includes assisting people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability where emotions and physical sensations interact. Kenneth uses client-centered conversation alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for mood regulation and healthier thinking.
Somatic elements are woven in to notice how stress shows up in the body and to build regulation skills from there. His background includes work in schools and community settings, including case management and group facilitation. That variety informs a flexible style that fits different day-to-day challenges and life stages.
He has experience supporting people affected by addiction and recovery from involvement in controlling groups. Kenneth emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals and he offers tools and observations to reach them. Sessions aim for steady progress through short-term skills and longer-term insight.
He works in English and practices in Illinois as an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker).
Approach and online options that meet you where you are
Somatic work pays attention to how feelings show up in the body. It helps people notice tension, breath, and posture so they can learn ways to feel less overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current closeness and trust. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and build safer ways of connecting.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace to set goals together. Kenneth frames treatment as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. These options make it easier to attend when schedules are busy or travel is difficult. They also allow people to continue work between sessions through messaging and to choose a format that feels most comfortable for sharing and learning skills.
