Marguerite Wilcox , LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox brings decades of experience to her work as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), guiding individuals, couples, and families through the challenges that arise in everyday life. She has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, grief, and the practical strains that come with parenting, caregiving, career change, and relationship struggles. Her practice recognizes how one person’s behavior influences those closest to them and focuses on improving interactions and coping skills across relationships.

She primarily works from a cognitive behavioral framework, addressing both thoughts and behaviors while promoting mindfulness and greater self-awareness. When appropriate, she draws on additional therapeutic methods to match a client’s preferences and needs. Known for an empathetic and encouraging stance, she helps clients identify realistic goals and celebrates progress as they develop new skills and insights.

Marguerite often assigns practical exercises between sessions to track growth and reinforce learning. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-driven process - therapy should meet the person where they are and reflect what works best for them. For those willing to take small, steady steps toward change, she offers steady guidance through both difficult and hopeful moments.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Marguerite Wilcox uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-centered therapy is another core approach, emphasizing a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their feelings and values while building self-awareness and confidence. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills-based strategies for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be especially helpful for clients dealing with anger, self-regulation difficulties, or complex emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marguerite partners with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skill-based work that supports meaningful progress over time.
