About Marguerite

Marguerite Elkins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Tennessee who brings 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and major life changes. She works with individuals facing depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, anger, self-esteem concerns, and relationship or attachment challenges, as well as those impacted by chronic illness, sexual assault, domestic violence, and issues common to veterans and first responders.

Her practice integrates a variety of evidence-informed and experiential methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques. She also uses Brainspotting, FLASH, and Bible-based counseling as part of a broader toolkit. As an LMFT she pays particular attention to relational patterns and the systems that affect a person’s wellbeing, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Faith-informed perspectives are available for those who value spiritual support alongside clinical care. Her approach emphasizes practical coping skills, emotional processing, and individualized treatment plans designed to foster resilience and improved day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Marguerite Elkins commonly uses EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies in her practice. EMDR is an approach that helps people process traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation and related techniques, often used for symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and calming practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of treatment. Marguerite works with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then recommends or blends methods that fit the situation. Licensed professionals can adapt pace and technique as progress is made so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increase flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. These remote formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions and access therapists from different locations while supporting ongoing therapeutic work.
