About Marc

Marc Wilner is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He sees people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained and those facing major adjustments in work or home life.

He listens for patterns that keep people repeating the same problems. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Conversations move from describing what is happening to naming small, practical steps that can change daily routines and reactions.

Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build useful skills. He works to identify strengths and to develop strategies for managing strong emotions, cravings, and overwhelming thoughts. The work often includes practice tasks between sessions so tools become part of everyday life.

People commonly come with concerns such as addiction, grieving, communication problems, or stress from caregiving or first-responder roles. He also addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, aging, autism, and forgiveness when these are part of a person’s story.

Marc keeps sessions focused and straightforward. He helps people clarify what matters most and what small steps might reduce pressure. To begin, prospective clients use the platform’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Marc uses evidence-based techniques to guide practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes to shift those patterns. This helps with anxiety, stress, and repeated relationship dynamics. Another approach centers on skills training for emotion regulation and coping. That includes short exercises people can use when cravings, strong emotions, or overwhelming thoughts arise.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and include planning concrete steps to try between meetings so progress can be measured and adjusted together.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm available online session options before booking to learn whether video or phone sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when energy is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and homework to suit each person's schedule and needs.
