About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience. She centers sessions on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship struggles. Her approach is straightforward and focused on clear goals.
She uses a mix of client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and awareness are woven into sessions to make new habits stick.
How Marguerite works
She also draws on dialectical methods and EMDR when those approaches fit a person's needs. Marguerite often assigns simple between-session activities to help clients practice skills and track progress. Those tasks are offered as tools for building insight and momentum rather than tests.
She encourages small, steady steps and adjusts plans as people report what works for them. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family stress, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and career challenges. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and body image concerns.
Sessions may include talking through reactions, learning coping skills, and trying new ways to communicate. Marguerite emphasizes collaboration - clients set the agenda and she helps guide practical changes. Her style aims to make therapy useful for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marguerite blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods, adjust plans, and pick homework that fits daily life so the work can carry over between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text let people check in more frequently, send brief updates, or fit a short session into a break. These options help people access therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
