Marguerite Wilcox

Marguerite Wilcox brings 33 years of professional experience to her work as a licensed clinical social worker. Over that time she has practiced psychotherapy for more than 20 years and holds licensure in both Louisiana and Florida, including a Louisiana clinical social work license (LA LCSW 13565).

She has supported individuals, couples, and families as they navigate family and life issues in community settings as well as in hospitals. Her practice recognizes how one person’s behavior affects those closest to them, and she routinely addresses problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, grief, and everyday struggles with managing life’s demands.

Marguerite works primarily from a cognitive-behavioral model, addressing both thinking patterns and behaviors while emphasizing mindfulness and self-awareness. When clients prefer or would benefit from other approaches, she incorporates additional therapeutic modalities to meet those needs.

Known for an empathetic style, she aims to help clients rediscover or build positivity and practical skills. She finds it rewarding to watch people begin to meet the goals they set for themselves and often assigns thoughtful homework between sessions to track progress and support skills training.

Marguerite believes choosing a therapist is an important decision and that therapy should be driven by the client’s needs. She encourages collaboration, welcomes client input about the therapy process, and supports gradual change - taking baby steps together through both rain and sunshine.
