About Robert
Robert Markovic is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of practice in California. He has spent decades helping people cope with anxiety and related struggles. He draws on long clinical experience and personal insight when meeting someone for the first time.
He focuses on anxiety across its many forms, including panic attacks, social anxiety, and specific phobias. He also helps people who struggle with stress, low self-esteem, and depression.
How Robert works
Other areas he addresses include control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. Robert uses practical, evidence-based techniques to create short-term strategies and longer-term habits. He combines skills-based work with lessons from his own meditation practice.
Sessions often include tools people can use between meetings to reduce panic and manage worry. His style is straightforward and experience-driven. He aims to translate clinical ideas into everyday actions a person can try right away.
He encourages a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is tracked over time. Robert has practiced privately since 1986 and brings that depth of experience to each session. He offers a calm, steady approach for people seeking clear steps to feel more in control.
If someone wants a mix of skills training and contemplative practice, his background supports both.

Approaches that meet anxiety where it happens
Robert combines practical, evidence-based techniques with meditation-informed practices. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral steps to reduce panic and social fear. These methods are useful for panic attacks, phobias, and ongoing worry. Mindfulness and meditation practices teach simple attention and breathing habits that can lower baseline stress and interrupt escalating anxiety.Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Robert will collaborate with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals, symptoms, and daily life. He checks in regularly to adjust methods and pace so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and guided breathing. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick coaching, between-session check-ins, and ongoing reminders to practice new skills. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping momentum on coping strategies.
