About Marguerite

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience who uses a client-centered, practical approach in therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns. Sessions aim to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and build small, doable steps toward better day-to-day coping.

Marguerite often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to pair new ways of thinking with new behaviors.

Background and approach

She also incorporates mindfulness and awareness practices when they fit the person’s goals. EMDR is part of her approach for trauma and abuse-related concerns when appropriate. Her work includes helping people with grief, self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.

She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, body image, and co-occurring challenges like substance use and mood disorders. Marguerite uses short exercises and homework between sessions to track progress and teach new skills. She encourages people to set clear goals and brings a steady, empathic presence while they try small changes.

Therapy is presented as a collaborative process shaped around each person’s needs. Based in Louisiana, she brings long experience from clinical and hospital settings. People who want a practical, step-by-step approach that combines talking, skill practice, and mindful awareness may find her style helpful.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people shape goals that matter to them. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises and homework to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used as part of trauma work to help process troubling memories. It is offered when trauma or abuse is a focus and may be combined with other techniques as needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between visits.
