Marcie Koenig, LCSW-C

Marcie Koenig is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She responds to concerns like compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation with steady, straightforward support. Marcie aims to make the initial step easier for anyone who decides to seek help.

She brings ten years of experience as an LCSW-C and a longer history working with older adults and their families. In sessions she creates time to talk through what matters most and to name the emotions behind daily struggles. The tone is practical and respectful rather than overly clinical.

Marcie focuses on coping strategies that people can use between visits. She helps clients sort through grief, manage anxious moments, and work on clearer communication with the people in their lives. Conversations also cover life purpose, end-of-life concerns, chronic illness or pain, and workplace strain when those issues affect day-to-day wellbeing.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests ways to try and adapt those ideas to each person’s situation. Sessions are paced to match what the client can manage and to build skills over time. Marcie encourages small, doable steps that add up to meaningful change.

People who choose Marcie often want straightforward guidance and a steady presence while they navigate loss, health challenges, or midlife transitions. She aims to make each session a place to reflect, plan, and try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Marcie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on coping and communication. One common approach helps people develop concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and brief behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. This kind of work suits someone who wants practical steps to manage daily symptoms.

Another approach centers on navigating grief and life transitions. It involves naming difficult emotions, making space for loss, and finding ways to reorganize routines and relationships as circumstances change. This approach can help people facing chronic illness, end-of-life planning, or major life shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marcie will listen to personal goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She treats the plan as flexible and will adjust strategies based on what proves helpful in practice.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in from work or home when that works better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote visits so progress continues between sessions.
