About Christine

Dr. Christine Wilcox practices from a foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while drawing on complementary methods to address a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

She integrates practical strategies to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions, and emphasizes building skills that support healthier thinking, coping, and behavior. With 27 years of clinical work spanning independent practice, hospitals, long-term care, hospice, and educational settings, Dr.

Wilcox brings broad experience to each case. She holds a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, a Bachelor of Science from Defiance College, and a nursing degree, and maintains LCSW and LISW licensure.

Her approach blends CBT with elements of dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance-based methods, and client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs. Dr.

Wilcox encourages practical self-care and boundary-setting as part of therapeutic progress and offers education, collaborative goal-setting, and evidence-informed techniques to support change. She works from Colorado and conducts sessions in English, focusing on addressing issues such as stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD, and other life and mood-related struggles.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online

Dr. Wilcox commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical in addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by teaching coping skills and structured techniques. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility to manage difficult emotions and move toward meaningful action.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be handled collaboratively. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and past experiences, then adapts methods so the work fits each person’s needs and pace rather than applying a single protocol to every case.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to access consistent care from Colorado using the communication style that best suits their lifestyle, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and practice skills in daily life.
