About Christine

Dr. Christine Wilcox brings a practical, person-centered style to therapy. She focuses on helping adults, especially women, navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Dr. Wilcox uses straightforward tools so people can start making small changes right away.

She draws on 27 years of clinical experience across settings such as hospice, long-term care, inpatient and outpatient programs, schools, and community services. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, a Bachelor of Science from Defiance College, and a nursing degree from Otero Junior College. She also holds naturopathy training noted in her original biography. Her licenses include LCSW and LISW in multiple states and she practices in Colorado.

In sessions she mixes methods to meet practical goals. You may work on skills to manage anxiety and mood, set boundaries, and rebuild routines after loss or major change. She incorporates behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and attention to physical health when relevant.

Dr. Wilcox describes her approach as collaborative and education-focused. She offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapy tools so clients can try new ways of coping between visits. Her aim is to help people manage mind and body concerns and to support clearer choices during stressful transitions.

If money and financial issues are part of the worry, she can address how money stress affects mood, relationships, and decision making. To begin, use the site Start Therapy button and follow the matching steps to schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Dr. Wilcox commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then focus on actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build practical skills that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach can help when trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship problems are a central concern. The therapist blends these approaches to match each person's priorities and situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life demands, and together they will choose methods to try. This collaborative choice helps make sessions feel relevant and workable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral homework from home. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits everyday life while addressing emotional and practical concerns.
