Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than three decades of experience in social work and over 20 years focused on psychotherapy. She centers sessions on cognitive behavioral ideas while also drawing on other approaches when a client prefers them. Her style is empathetic and collaborative, and she often gives short between-session exercises to help people track progress and build skills.

Marguerite uses a blend of thought-and-behavior focused work with mindfulness and awareness. She helps people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions and then practices different ways of responding. This practical focus often includes homework assignments that clarify what’s changing and what still needs attention.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She also lists aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, family-of-origin concerns, and blended family challenges among her focus areas. Marguerite brings experience from hospital settings as well as community practice.

Sessions are led with the client’s goals in mind, and she invites input about what works best. She encourages small steps and steady progress rather than rushing change. People who prefer structure can expect clear goals and exercises, while others will find a listening, person-centered presence.

She practices in Louisiana and works in English. To begin, visitors are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approach-focused online therapy with practical tools

Marguerite draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions are guided by the client’s needs and pace. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so goals come from what matters most to the person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust as needed. Decisions about techniques and pacing are shared so clients feel involved in shaping their therapy.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or making it simpler to meet from a quieter setting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online format so skills-building can continue between meetings.
