Marcie Koenig , MD, LCSW-C

Marcie Koenig, MD, LCSW-C, is a Maryland-licensed clinician with ten years of professional experience who focuses on supporting older adults and their families. She holds an MD, which denotes Doctor of Medicine, and an LCSW-C, which indicates Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical. Practicing in Maryland, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a range of emotional and life challenges.

Her work centers on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and adapt to significant life changes. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression. Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, issues of forgiveness, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Marcie emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She collaborates with clients to build practical coping strategies and to clarify goals for therapy. While she recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage and admires the effort it requires, she is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care and Life Transitions

Marcie uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build stronger coping skills. One approach emphasizes skills-based coping strategies that teach concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood changes - these techniques help people respond to daily challenges and regain a sense of control. Another focus is grief-focused therapy, which supports individuals through loss by helping them process emotions, rebuild routines, and find meaning after change. A third strand of her work is supportive, client-centered therapy that prioritizes empathy, validation, and collaborative problem solving to address relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marcie works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Her aim is to match practical strategies to each person’s situation so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life feels complicated.
