About Marguerite

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than three decades of professional experience. She bases her work on cognitive behavioral ideas, helping people notice how thoughts and actions link together and learning small, practical changes that make daily life easier.

Her approach emphasizes mindfulness and awareness. She often uses short between-session tasks so clients can practice new skills and track progress. These homework activities are meant to help people see what is changing and where they still want to grow.

Marguerite has worked in community and hospital settings. She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and the stress of life transitions. She also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, work and career issues, and codependency-related patterns.

She brings a patient, empathetic style to sessions and invites clients to shape the work. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where goals come from the person seeking help. Marguerite encourages small steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Alongside cognitive behavioral methods she may use mindfulness, dialectical behavior ideas, existential perspectives, or EMDR when those approaches fit a client's needs. She works in Louisiana and speaks English. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches adaptable to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says and needs. It centers the client's goals and relies on empathy and collaboration to shape each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better match what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions transfers easily to everyday life, whether sessions are remote or in person. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like mindfulness, CBT worksheets, and EMDR-style preparations to suit the session format chosen.
