Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marguerite Wilcox blends several practical approaches to meet the needs of clients in remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that places the client's perspectives and goals at the center of work, helping with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by teaching concrete skills and perspective shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions, conflict, or patterns of self-sabotage.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marguerite collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility concerns, and maintain continuity of care when life changes occur.
