Dr. Christine Wilcox, LCSW, LISW

Dr. Christine Wilcox is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on practical strategies people can use right away. She draws on 27 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related life changes.

She prefers straightforward therapy that combines thinking-and-action tools with attention to values and attachment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent part of her approach, used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and build more secure ways of relating.

Clients can expect sessions that emphasize skills practice, clear goals, and steps to try between meetings. She encourages simple self-care habits related to sleep, movement, and nutrition when those areas affect mood and stress. The tone aims to be direct, steady, and encouraging when change feels hard.

Her background includes work across clinical settings such as hospitals, hospice, long-term care, and schools, which shaped a practical focus on coping and transitions. She holds a Master of Social Work and maintains licensure as LCSW and LISW in the listed states.

Dr. Wilcox offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform matching process and the therapist's availability.

How practical therapies translate to online care

Dr. Wilcox uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce symptoms. CBT often involves short exercises, goal setting, and practice tasks that can be assigned between sessions to track progress.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people define their values and take action toward them even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of relating over time.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. You and the therapist work as a team to find what fits.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills coaching, and more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions.
