About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience. She draws on client-centered and cognitive-behavioral methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She focuses on both thoughts and actions, using tools that build awareness and mindfulness. That often includes short exercises to try at home and simple skills to practice in daily life.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients notice small shifts that add up over time. Marguerite also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related issues. She helps people work through anger, self-esteem struggles, intimacy questions, and career-related stress.
She also supports those facing co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder or addiction. Her background includes work in community and hospital settings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and invites input from the person seeking help.
Sessions are structured around each person’s goals and pace, with homework used to track progress and practice new skills. Marguerite works with adults in Louisiana as an LCSW. She places value on small, steady steps and on building tools people can use outside of sessions.
The approach is practical, people-focused, and adaptable to different life circumstances.
Approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and preferences. In this approach the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s pace, helping people name what matters and decide the next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings attention to accepting difficult feelings while learning skills for emotion regulation and relationship effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions or recurring conflicts get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a face-to-face feel and allow for visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, handle brief updates, or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing life commitments.
