About Christine

Dr. Christine Wilcox is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults navigate strong emotions and life transitions. She brings 27 years of clinical experience and works from Colorado.

She uses plain language and practical steps to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Her sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take small action toward them. Attachment-based ideas guide her work when relationship patterns or past hurts affect current reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Dr. Wilcox has worked across many settings including schools, hospitals, hospice, long-term care, and community programs. That variety shaped a practical approach that emphasizes concrete tools, self-care, and setting healthy boundaries.

She supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, parenting stress, and chronic caregiving strain. Clients can expect direct guidance, skill-building homework, and collaborative goal-setting. The work is steady and paced to the person's needs.

Sessions focus on what will help someone manage emotions, improve daily functioning, and move toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to choose small actions that match their values. It works well for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating and responding when old wounds come up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean blending strategies - for example pairing CBT skill practice with ACT values work and attachment-focused reflection - so the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and role-play. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or written exercises between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on learning tools that help manage emotions and daily challenges.
