About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 33 years of experience in social work and more than 20 years practicing psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
She explains therapy in plain terms and focuses on thinking and behavior. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and brings in mindfulness and awareness during sessions. She may also use other approaches when a person prefers them.
Sessions include practical exercises and skills training. She frequently assigns short homework between meetings to track changes and practice new responses. That work is used to notice progress and build new habits over time.
Marguerite treats problems that affect relationships and daily routines, including communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and substance concerns. She also supports people coping with abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, body image, and career-related stress.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. She encourages people to suggest what helps and aims to fit the work to each person's goals. Picking a therapist is presented as a deliberate choice, and she invites clients to raise questions about the process at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person lead the work. The therapist reflects concerns and priorities back so goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through a structured process and is used for trauma and abuse.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. That recommendation is adjusted as sessions progress so the work stays relevant to what the person needs.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue work across changes in location within the same state. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy part of everyday life rather than on a particular delivery method.
