About Christine
Dr. Christine Wilcox is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings 27 years of clinical experience and keeps a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
She works from Colorado and holds the LCSW and LISW credentials listed below. In sessions she uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work, attachment-focused ideas, and acceptance and commitment strategies. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, name difficult feelings, and build small behavior changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and dialectical skills when useful. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in multiple settings such as hospitals, hospice, long-term care, and schools. This range informs a flexible approach to common problems such as burnout, addiction concerns, sleep or eating issues, and life transitions.
She also supports people with identity and intimacy-related struggles. Dr. Wilcox aims to be straightforward and practical.
Sessions often include skill practice, short-term goal-setting, and ways to manage overwhelming moments. She encourages self-care that addresses thinking, body, and daily routines. She holds licensure in Colorado and Ohio as provided: CO LCSW 992139 and OH LISW I.2002524.
Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of in-person and online formats as described elsewhere on the profile.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take small committed actions. It is often useful for anxiety, grief, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy highlights how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy, communication, and unresolved hurt.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past helpful strategies, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something does not feel like a good fit.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practice of skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and support shorter, frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions and practice skills in real life.
