About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience. She combines practical strategies with a calm, supportive style to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Her approach centers on what a person thinks and does, with an emphasis on building awareness and new habits.
Marguerite commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking and healthier actions.
Background and approach
She also draws from client-centered and mindfulness ideas to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual. When trauma is present, she may integrate EMDR steps and other tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions often include short exercises and between-session tasks to practice new skills.
These small assignments are used to track changes and bring real-life examples back into the conversation. Marguerite pays attention to family and parenting pressures and helps people sort through blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and communication problems. She has supported people facing grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy issues, and career transitions.
Her work is practical and steady - helping clients take manageable steps toward goals they set together. Marguerite encourages clients to speak up about what works best for them and adapts sessions to match each person’s needs. Based in Louisiana, she offers therapy that focuses on clear strategies, consistent practice, and compassionate listening.
Her style aims to make change feel possible, one small step at a time.

How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps the person decide which steps feel useful. This approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions include practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between meetings. It works well for anxiety, anger management, depression, and everyday coping skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. When strong emotions lead to conflict or impulsive actions, DBT skills can offer tools to steady reactions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and past efforts, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the approach matches changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a quick check-in, and text messaging helps with short updates or reminders. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
