About Christine
Dr. Christine Wilcox uses client-centered and evidence-informed approaches to guide parents through hard moments. She brings clear, practical steps to everyday parenting challenges.
Her style is direct and steady, aimed at helping people make changes that stick. She combines tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix helps address stress, anxiety, sleep and eating problems, and mood concerns.
It also supports people managing grief, trauma, addiction, or life transitions.
Background and approach
With 27 years in practice, Dr. Wilcox has worked in schools, hospital programs, hospice, long-term care, community settings, and independent practice. She holds a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University and practices in Colorado as an LCSW and as an LISW in Ohio.
Those credentials reflect long clinical experience and a focus on mental health for adults. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills - managing stress, improving communication, building routines, and setting boundaries. She encourages self-care steps that attend to mind and body, including basic approaches to sleep, movement, and daily structure.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Parents looking for coaching around parenting challenges will find a structured, steady approach that emphasizes small changes. The goal is clearer coping, better day-to-day functioning, and tools that help when life becomes overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and parenting decisions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions, which is useful for mood, sleep, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when strong feelings get in the way.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the person's needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working and to focus on the skills that help most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are handy for short check-ins, skill practice, or steady support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for busy parents and adults managing life changes.
