About Marguerite

Marguerite Elkins is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Tennessee who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people move beyond depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders and life transitions toward more engaged, resilient living. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and healing processes that support emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and renewed purpose.

Elkins integrates a range of therapeutic tools to meet each person's needs, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, FLASH, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and Bible based counseling. As an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist trained to address individual and relational issues - she blends clinical methods with clients' values and, when appropriate, faith perspectives.

Her work addresses a wide variety of concerns such as stress, trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, anger, self-esteem challenges, and coping with chronic illness or loss. Marguerite emphasizes collaborative care, helping clients set clear goals and learn skills that support long-term change while honoring each person’s background and beliefs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, practical ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges where changing thoughts and behaviors can improve mood and functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, anger, and patterns that interfere with stability and goals.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing disturbing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional charge. It is commonly applied for post-traumatic stress, traumatic memories, and related symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marguerite Elkins works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support, skills training, and evidence-based interventions without requiring in-person visits, which can increase accessibility and continuity of care.
