About David
He has spent much of his career focused on trauma, working with individuals who have experienced it and with their loved ones so everyone can better understand trauma dynamics. He also supports people whose substance use has developed as a way to cope with intrusive thoughts and feelings. His background includes long-term work across many adult concerns, including grief, caregiver strain, and problems rooted in family history.
Dr. Wilcox uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to set goals and build practical steps forward. Elements of the Stage of Change model help when people are weighing or making life changes.
He thinks about people in four areas - biological, psychological, social, and spiritual - and aims to address whichever area matters most in the moment. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on understanding what is happening and trying useful steps between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Wilcox commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and building small, practical steps so progress can be seen between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan as they learn what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused work to remote sessions so the same practical tools are used whether meetings are in person or online.
