Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, creating a supportive space where the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients clarify goals and values; this approach is particularly helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and life transition concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful behavior patterns through structured exercises and real-world practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Marguerite Wilcox’s practice can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care across life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and assignments to remote formats so therapeutic work continues effectively outside the office.
