About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is an LCSW with 33 years of professional experience based in Louisiana. She lists stress, anxiety, family and parenting among the concerns she addresses. She also notes work with depression, addiction, grief, trauma and relationship issues.
Marguerite uses a cognitive behavioral approach that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect daily life. She emphasizes mindfulness and awareness alongside practical exercises. Clients often receive short exercises or "homework" between sessions to practice new skills and track changes.
Her background includes long-term practice in clinical settings where people bring a mix of life problems. She mentions helping people cope with burnout and compassion fatigue, as well as complex concerns like co-morbidity and substance use. That experience shapes a focus on concrete strategies for managing symptoms and relationships.
Marguerite also works with issues tied to family of origin, including abandonment, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. She names intimacy-related struggles, commitment and codependency among areas she helps people talk through.
She views therapy as a collaborative process driven by the client. Marguerite invites suggestions and prefers clients stay involved in choosing goals and methods. Her practice uses measurable tasks and skill practice to document progress over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and perspective. Online sessions allow the therapist to listen to what matters most and adjust the pace and focus to the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns. In online sessions CBT can include reviewing homework, tracking behaviors, and practicing skills together. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing difficult memories; in a remote setting it typically involves guided procedures and direction from the therapist to support that work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That conversation usually happens early and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, require less travel time, and let people use shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also allow continuity of care when managing caregiving duties, work commitments, or travel. Licensed professionals and therapists can help choose session length and frequency that fit everyday routines.
