About Dr. David Wilcox
Dr. Wilcox has extensive experience supporting people who have been directly affected by traumatic events and also working with their spouses and family members so everyone gains a clearer understanding of trauma dynamics. In cases where intrusive thoughts and feelings have led to substance misuse, he integrates approaches that address both the trauma and the coping behaviors that developed around it.
His counseling framework blends cognitive-behavioral methods with the Stage of Change model from the transtheoretical approach, solution-focused techniques, and humanistic-existential perspectives. He approaches clients holistically, viewing life through four interconnected components - biological, psychological, social, and spiritual - and he tailors work to address those areas as they become most relevant for each person. This practical, integrative stance guides his therapeutic work with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression.

Approaches that guide online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by offering practical, skills-based strategies to change how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment; it is especially useful when people are facing substance misuse or are uncertain about taking steps toward change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and small, concrete steps toward preferred outcomes, helping people move forward by emphasizing strengths and what already works.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. David Wilcox works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most effective for the individual.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives, to maintain continuity when schedules change, and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats support flexible scheduling and allow licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that aligns with each person’s circumstances and treatment goals.
