Dr. Christine Wilcox , LCSW, LISW

Dr. Christine Wilcox brings twenty-seven years of private practice experience focused on women's mental health for adults age 18 and older. She combines clinical training, nursing experience, and a background across school, hospital, hospice, long-term care, community, and psychiatric settings to support women through life transitions, relationship challenges, and a range of mental health concerns.

She holds social work and clinical credentials, including LCSW and LISW, which stand for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker. Her academic training includes a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, a Bachelor of Science from Defiance College, a nursing degree from Otero Junior College, and a Doctor of Naturopathy certification from Trinity School of Natural Health. Dr. Wilcox has maintained licensure and practice across Colorado, Indiana, and Ohio.

In session she draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches as well as solution-focused strategies to address anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, eating and sleeping concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, caregiver stress, and other areas of concern. Her work emphasizes education, practical skills, and setting clear boundaries to support lasting change. She encourages clients to develop self-care routines that attend to mind, body, and overall wellness.

Dr. Wilcox does not provide couples therapy but does offer clinical consulting and support for women navigating complex personal and family situations. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites those ready for change to take a next step toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Wilcox integrates practical, evidence-informed methods into online work to help clients build skills and manage symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with crises. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to help clients understand how attachment affects current intimacy, communication, and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wilcox works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format better fits their schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods and support consistent engagement with licensed professionals and therapists.
