About David
Much of his caseload has involved trauma, both clinical and sub-clinical. He also helps people whose coping has included substance misuse. He explains things plainly and focuses on what will make daily life more manageable.
His approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques are part of his toolkit. He believes therapy should address biological, psychological, social, and spiritual parts of life as they become relevant.
Sessions are practical and goal oriented. He works with people to identify small steps that can reduce distress and improve relationships. He also helps loved ones learn about trauma dynamics when that is helpful.
Dr. Wilcox draws on 34 years of experience to tailor sessions to each person. He aims to help clients move through change at a pace that fits their situation and goals.

How therapy methods fit into online care
Dr. Wilcox uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core parts of his work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that drive anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change, guiding conversations to build readiness and personal reasons to act.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with the client to decide which techniques make sense based on goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as progress is reviewed together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or weekday appointments that line up with work or caregiving. Licensed professionals often adapt CBT and Motivational Interviewing for remote work so skills practice and goal tracking continue between sessions.
