Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Kenneth Markovic, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new responses, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, low motivation, or self-esteem concerns start to affect daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can be a strong fit for clients who want structured tools for managing intense feelings, anger, or impulsive urges, including concerns connected to addiction.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and life experiences can shape current patterns in closeness, trust, and boundaries. This lens can help when someone is navigating abandonment concerns, attachment issues, or relationship stress in families or couples.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kenneth collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the therapy style over time so sessions feel relevant and workable.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet with Kenneth through video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging when a written format feels more accessible or fits a busy schedule.How much experience does Kenneth Markovic have?
