About Robert

Robert Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience in private practice. He focuses on anxiety and depression and helps people manage panic, phobias, and persistent worry. He writes and speaks about anxiety from long personal and professional experience. Robert brings a calm, direct style to conversations about fear and stress.

He began private practice in 1986 and has developed an approach shaped by decades of work with anxious clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his regular practice; he uses it as a practical, goal-oriented tool to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. He also draws on a long personal meditation practice to teach breath work and attention skills that support emotional regulation.

Sessions emphasize clear steps, small experiments, and homework that fit into daily life. He works with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, control issues, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. He also supports people working on self-esteem and self-love.

Robert aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first visit. He tends to focus on what someone can try between sessions and how to notice progress over time. His tone is steady and practical while still valuing the personal meaning behind each concern.

People who prefer straightforward, skills-based sessions often find his manner helpful. He offers services in California and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats to match personal needs.

Approaches that reduce worry and build new habits

Robert regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can help reduce panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry. He pairs this with practical steps people can try between sessions to track progress.

He also brings meditation-based practices into sessions. These are taught as simple attention and breathing skills that can ease anxiety spikes and improve self-awareness over time. Meditation work is presented as a complement to active behavioral work rather than a standalone cure.

Figuring out the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you identify goals and try different methods to see what helps most. You and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to adjust based on how things are going.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online or in-person formats. Please confirm available session formats before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between obligations. Different formats can suit quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or sessions where video is not required, depending on what is offered.
