Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW, brings a client-centered approach grounded in cognitive behavior methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She writes plainly with a focus on practical skills. Her style emphasizes awareness, mindfulness, and small, steady progress that fits into everyday life.

With 33 years in social work and more than two decades practicing psychotherapy, she has worked in community settings and hospitals across Louisiana and Florida. She has supported people facing depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and other challenges that affect daily functioning and relationships.

Sessions often include skills practice and brief assignments between meetings. These “homework” tasks help people notice patterns, practice new behaviors, and track small changes over time. The goal is to make progress tangible and to build confidence in everyday situations.

She adapts her methods to each person, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness. She also uses other approaches when a client prefers them, including work that addresses traumatic memories and painful experiences.

Marguerite emphasizes collaboration. She invites clients to steer the work and to share what helps. Her approach is practical and steady - focused on learning, awareness, and the small steps that add up to change.

Online approaches that focus on skills and awareness

Marguerite uses cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday life. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test small changes and measure progress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration so the plan reflects what matters to the person.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools when emotion regulation or strong reactions are central concerns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and tolerating distress in the short term.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on building skills, tracking small steps, and making therapy fit daily life rather than on a single fixed method.
