Marcie Koenig, LCSW-C

Marcie Koenig is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She practices in Maryland and brings a calm, straightforward style to conversations about difficult topics. Marcie lets people describe what matters most and helps them find practical ways to cope.

She focuses on concerns common in midlife and later years, including aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, chronic illness or pain, and loneliness. She also works with people dealing with relationship strain, workplace stress, guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose. Her aim is to make room for hard feelings while looking for small, doable steps forward.

Marcie has ten years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW-C, which is a Maryland clinical social work license. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and track progress. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to the day-to-day challenges that shape mood and functioning.

People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through fears and losses. She encourages practical coping strategies alongside emotional processing. Marcie also supports those caring for older relatives who need guidance about communication and decision points.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The process is set up so people can take the first step without a long initial commitment.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Marcie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on building coping skills - learning simple strategies to reduce anxiety, manage grief, and handle everyday stress. Another approach emphasizes supportive, emotion-focused work where a person can talk through losses, loneliness, or guilt and find ways to process those feelings.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Marcie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.

If you want online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online options can offer practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, making it easier to check in during a work break, or avoiding travel time. They can also allow shorter follow-up conversations when needed. Talk with the matching process about which arrangements will best fit your schedule and daily life.
