Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience. She uses a cognitive behavioral approach and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Marguerite speaks English and practices in Louisiana.

Her sessions pay attention to both thoughts and behaviors. She emphasizes mindfulness and awareness and often gives practical exercises to try between meetings. These small tasks are meant to track progress and build new skills over time.

She also draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work focused on what matters to each person. That means the goals and pace come from the client, and the therapist adjusts methods when someone prefers a different path. Marguerite values empathy and a positive therapeutic tone.

Marguerite has worked across community and hospital settings. Her background includes guiding people through trauma and abuse, family-of-origin concerns, caregiving stress, and issues like bipolar disorder and ADHD. She brings decades of clinical perspective to these challenges.

People can expect straightforward conversation about problems and clear steps to try at home. Marguerite encourages involvement in the process and invites feedback so therapy fits the client's life. She describes change as gradual and supports clients through the small steps that add up.

Using CBT and Client-Focused Methods Online

Marguerite commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts and actions influence each other and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stressful reactions. She also uses client-centered techniques that let the person's goals guide the work and support a collaborative tone in sessions. When helpful, dialectical behavior therapy ideas may be added to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Together they will try strategies and adjust as progress is made, keeping the client involved in planning each step.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when convenient. Phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
