Marguerite Wilcox

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience. She centers therapy on practical change and clear thinking. Her work emphasizes awareness, mindfulness, and helping people meet the goals they set for themselves.

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts and actions affect each other. She also draws on client-centered listening, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and EMDR when needed. Sessions may include short exercises and take-home practice to support progress between meetings.

Marguerite has worked in community and hospital settings. Over decades she has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and stress. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, anger, career shifts, and caring for aging relatives.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages clients to shape therapy so it matches their needs. Marguerite often gives homework to track changes and build skills outside sessions.

Clients can expect practical tools, focused conversations, and attention to what’s happening day to day. She values small steps toward change and stays engaged through both difficult and hopeful moments.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship, helping people feel heard and guiding them to clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit best based on what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work. That decision is made together and can adapt over time as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use tools like worksheets and recorded exercises between meetings to reinforce skills learned in sessions.
