Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions
Kenneth Markovic draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in a virtual setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is skills-based and practical, often emphasizing emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a strong fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, struggle with impulsive choices, or want better tools for conflict and communication.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and life experiences can shape trust, closeness, and boundaries in the present. It can be helpful for concerns such as abandonment fears, codependency, and relationship stress, whether a person is coming to therapy alone or as part of a couple or family.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kenneth collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapts the work to match current needs over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, transportation limits, or changing day-to-day demands.
