About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience. She practices in Louisiana and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting and family concerns.
She uses a cognitive behavioral approach that looks at both thoughts and actions. Mindfulness and awareness are part of her work, and she often suggests practical exercises to try between sessions. Those between-session tasks help track progress and build new skills over time.
Marguerite adapts other methods when clients prefer them. Her listed approaches include client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and EMDR. She frames therapy as collaborative and encourages people to suggest what helps them most.
She says therapy should be driven by the client and focused on their goals. Sessions often include clear, concrete steps and homework to practice outside of appointments. That structure aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Marguerite has experience in community and hospital settings, helping individuals, couples, and families with life transitions and complex stressors. She emphasizes gradual progress and practical tools people can use in everyday situations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. Online sessions using this approach let clients steer the focus while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions CBT often includes concrete exercises and homework to practice between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and can be used to teach breathing, grounding, and communication skills that people can practice in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues arise.
The original biography does not specify available session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills at home between appointments. These practical benefits help translate therapeutic tools into everyday routines without promising a particular format.
