About Marc

Marc Wilner, LCPC, offers support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps that help with everyday struggles and family concerns. His tone is direct and calm, aimed at people who want clear tools and honest conversation.

He listens first to understand what is happening and where patterns repeat. Sessions mix conversation with hands-on strategies that are meant to be usable between appointments.

Background and approach

He emphasizes building on strengths and creating small, manageable changes rather than prescribing one fixed path. Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s goals. He helps people identify unhelpful habits, practice new ways of relating, and work through the effects of loss, abandonment, or caregiving strain.

Addiction-related issues and problems with control or dependency are approached with step-by-step plans and realistic expectations. Clients often come with communication problems, commitment worries, or struggles tied to aging and role changes. He also addresses attachment issues, autism-related concerns, and challenges that affect first responders and caregivers.

The work typically blends understanding past patterns with creating practical skills for daily life. Marc practices in Maryland and holds the LCPC credential in Maryland. He communicates in English and aims to make therapy straightforward and accessible.

To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based techniques fit with remote care

Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and change patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying repeating thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, then practicing new reactions in daily life. This helps with anxiety, codependency, and problems with control. Another approach emphasizes building communication skills and emotional awareness so people can address relationship and family concerns more clearly and calmly.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's life and progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find virtual work useful because it can fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular contact, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy week. Licensed professionals can guide you on which techniques translate well to remote work and how to practice skills between sessions.
