About Marc

Marc Wilner is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He works with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or drained by daily pressures. He also focuses on codependency and related relationship patterns.

Marc meets people where they are and listens first. He describes his style as collaborative and conversational. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps someone stuck, spotting strengths, and building practical tools to use between meetings.

Many clients come in after trying to cope alone for a long time. Marc helps them untangle patterns such as abandonment worries, attachment concerns, control issues, and dependent personality traits. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and the fallout from drug or alcohol addiction.

His work includes helping people process grief, forgiveness, and commitment worries. He has an interest in first responder issues and adjusting to major life transitions. Therapy aims to reduce the day-to-day burden and restore a sense of agency.

Marc blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with practical strategies. Over sessions clients learn skills for communication, emotion regulation, and coping with change. The goal is steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach emphasizes understanding attachment and codependency patterns by tracing how early relationships shape current expectations and behaviors. This helps when someone repeatedly struggles with trust, abandonment worries, or dependent behavior.

Another approach centers on skill-building for emotion regulation and coping. It teaches clear, repeatable strategies to manage anxiety, cravings, and overwhelming stress so daily life feels more manageable. These techniques are useful for addiction recovery, burnout, and sudden life transitions.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps to learn which formats are available and which will suit daily routines best.
