About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, grief, and codependency concerns. She uses practical, talk-based therapy and encourages active participation from clients.
She practices from a cognitive behavior model, focusing on how thoughts and actions influence one another. Mindfulness and awareness are woven into sessions to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on other approaches when a client prefers a different method.
Marguerite often suggests short exercises or “homework” between sessions. These tasks help clients try new skills and track small changes. The goal is to build habits that reduce reactivity and increase options in daily life.
She believes the client guides the work and welcomes suggestions about what helps. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward clear, realistic goals. She encourages small steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
Marguerite has experience in community and hospital settings and has supported people through life transitions, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and substance concerns. She uses straightforward language in sessions and focuses on the practical tools people can use the day after a session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping people clarify values and goals. It supports discussions about relationships, caregiving roles, and codependency patterns in everyday language.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and behavioral experiments to shift unhelpful patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in heated moments.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered for online work. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will fit into your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so skills can be practiced sooner in daily life.
