About Marguerite
Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience and more than two decades working in psychotherapy. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, depression, trauma and other life changes. Sessions are described as collaborative, and she commonly uses homework between meetings to track progress.
She practices from a cognitive behavioral framework that focuses on how thoughts and actions interact. Mindfulness and present-moment awareness are woven into that work. She also draws on client-centered, dialectical behavior therapy, existential approaches and EMDR when those methods fit a person's needs.
Wilcox emphasizes practical skills and observable changes. Clients can expect exercises that build coping, steps to test unhelpful thinking, and skill practice between sessions. She notes that tracking small changes helps both client and therapist see progress over time.
Her background includes work in community and hospital settings. That experience informs how she addresses issues that affect daily functioning, such as caregiving stress, blended family challenges, substance concerns, and co-occurring mood conditions. She has worked with a wide range of life-stage issues and family-of-origin concerns.
Wilcox encourages people to direct their own therapy and to share what methods feel useful. She asks clients to be involved in setting goals and in choosing approaches, and she uses short assignments to build skills and awareness between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online session options
Marguerite Wilcox works from a cognitive behavioral framework that links thoughts and behavior to everyday coping. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thought patterns, testing them with small behavioral experiments, and building skills to respond differently. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, depression and habit-related struggles.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client guides the pace and topics. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is another tool she may use for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors are present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then suggest methods that fit those needs. The work often combines talking, skill practice and short assignments to try between sessions.

Therapists can also adjust how they use time online to focus on skills practice, coaching or problem solving depending on what each person needs.
