Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox is an LCSW with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and stress. Her approach centers on helping clients notice thoughts and actions so they can make small, steady changes.

She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas as a base, focusing on how thinking and behavior connect. Mindfulness and awareness are woven into sessions to help people become more present and clear about choices. She often assigns short practice tasks between meetings to track progress and build skills.

Marguerite also draws on other approaches when they fit a person's needs, including dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered listening, existential questions, and EMDR for trauma-related work. Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client helps shape what happens and what goals matter most.

She has worked in community and hospital settings and has supported people through family conflict, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and career changes. She also helps with concerns such as anger, self-esteem, intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance use challenges.

Marguerite encourages practical steps and celebrates small gains. She frames therapy as a journey of learning and awareness and invites clients to stay involved in shaping the work. Her style is empathic and goal-focused, with attention to real-life changes that matter.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can steer their own work; it helps with motivation, life transitions, and interpersonal struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma-related memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on skills training, deeper processing, or a mix of approaches.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care after hospital stays or during caregiving periods. Licensed professionals help tailor session pacing and homework to everyday routines so therapy fits real life.
