Brett Wilcox

Brett Wilcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Alaska with 25 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, addiction, and low self-esteem. Brett emphasizes meeting clients where they are and treating each person as the expert in their own life.

Brett uses an experiential, insight-oriented style that focuses on uncovering underlying emotional patterns. He looks for the unconscious beliefs and memories that keep painful thoughts and behaviors in place. He then works with clients to change those patterns so symptoms ease at their roots rather than only managing symptoms on the surface.

Sessions typically include gentle inquiry, guided reflection, and practical tasks to try between meetings. Brett aims to minimize the power gap in therapy and invites clients to direct the pace and focus of work. He often asks people to hold the ideas that emerged in session between visits to test how those shifts show up in daily life.

Over his career he has worked with people affected by PTSD, sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, substance use, and domestic violence. He has also led group programs for teens and adults around substance abuse and domestic violence, and he notes experience doing couples work.

People who have tried other approaches and felt stuck sometimes find rapid progress with Brett. If his style sounds like a match, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling choice so potential clients can see whether they want to continue.

How Brett’s approaches translate to online work

Many of Brett's methods focus on noticing patterns and testing small changes in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try different behaviors to change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills to calm strong emotions and build steady focus. Motivational Interviewing uses collaborative conversation to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Brett will work with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together what to try and when to adjust the plan.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the next session for review.
