Marcie Koenig

Marcie Koenig is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck after change, struggling with stress or anxiety, or facing grief and loss. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose.

Marcie focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what matters now and helps people sort through next steps. Sessions tend to emphasize honest talk about feelings, small experiments to test new ways of coping, and setting manageable goals.

Her background includes long experience supporting older adults and caring for people through end-of-life concerns, chronic illness, and the challenges that come with aging. That work shaped how she approaches complicated feelings like guilt, shame, and loneliness.

In sessions she works on communication problems and relationship stresses that get in the way of daily life. She also addresses workplace issues and midlife concerns when people feel uncertain about what comes next.

People who are overwhelmed by change or unsure about purpose often begin by naming the most urgent problem. From there Marcie helps clarify small, realistic steps. The focus is on usable strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. One common approach helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests them with small behavioral experiments. This can be useful for anxiety, work stress, and midlife doubts by breaking big worries into manageable tasks.

Another approach emphasizes skills for coping with strong emotions and grief. It teaches grounding and pacing strategies and practical ways to respond to overwhelming feelings so daily life can continue alongside the work of processing loss or chronic illness.

Figuring out which approaches to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adapting techniques if something isn’t working and choosing steps that feel doable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people sustain therapy while juggling work, caregiving, or health challenges.
