Marc Wilner

Marc Wilner is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, and major life changes. He meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps to feel more steady and in control.

Many clients come after trying to handle problems alone for a long time. Marc listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps identify strengths to build on. Sessions aim to turn small shifts into lasting change rather than only talking about problems.

His style is conversational and collaborative. He works with each person to set goals and try techniques that fit daily life. He emphasizes straightforward tools people can use between sessions to manage mood, stress, and urges related to addiction.

Marc draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the situation at hand. He is especially familiar with challenges tied to abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, aging, autism spectrum concerns, and issues common to first responders. These focus areas shape how he understands each person’s story.

With three years of clinical experience, Marc aims to create a respectful space where clients can practice new ways of thinking and relating. He helps people move toward greater calm, clearer choices, and a stronger sense of purpose as they navigate life’s transitions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new thoughts through small behavior changes; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and building confidence. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people recognize recurring dynamics and try different ways of interacting to reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or adapt techniques based on needs, goals, and how comfortable someone is with practice tasks. Expectations and methods are revisited regularly so the plan matches evolving concerns.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is helpful. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday settings and bring real-life situations into the work with the therapist.
