Marguerite Wilcox, LCSW

Marguerite Wilcox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience and practices in Louisiana. She sees adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, trauma and grief. She also helps people managing relationship problems, parenting strain, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach emphasizes cognitive behavioral work that links thoughts and behavior. She pays attention to mindfulness and awareness as practical tools people can use between sessions. She often suggests short exercises or homework to try out new skills and track progress.

Marguerite draws on several methods when they fit a person’s needs, including client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy strategies, existential ideas, and EMDR when appropriate. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and invites suggestions from the person in the room about what helps most.

Sessions focus on clear, skill-based steps - for example reducing reactivity, changing unhelpful thinking, improving communication, and building coping tools for stress and cravings. She uses real-life practice so people can test changes outside sessions and bring observations back to discuss.

Marguerite describes picking a therapist as an important decision and says therapy should be driven by the client. She encourages people to start with small steps and to be active in selecting techniques that fit their goals and daily life.
