About Brett
Brett Wilcox is a licensed counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, addiction, and changes in life. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Alaska. Brett often works with men’s wellbeing concerns alongside other issues such as depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem.
Brett uses practical, experience-based methods aimed at shifting how problems are held and experienced. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients lead and the counselor helps them uncover core beliefs that keep problems going. Sessions may include focused exercises and short between-session tasks to reinforce what was learned.
Much of his past work has included substance abuse counseling and group work for people dealing with domestic violence, sex offending, and addiction. He has also worked with people facing PTSD, sexual abuse, and relationship violence. Those experiences inform how he approaches safety and behavior change in individual work.
Brett values client autonomy and tries to reduce the usual power gap in counseling. He treats people as the experts on their own lives and aims to help them discover understandings that feel true to them. He avoids imposing interpretations and instead supports clients in finding their own paths forward.
People who have not found help in other settings have sometimes seen meaningful shifts after a small number of sessions. If his way of working sounds like a fit, clients can meet for a few sessions and decide whether to continue.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Coaching and therapy methods Brett lists include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, both described in simple, practical terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily life; it can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching skills to test and shift unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance, useful for stress, cravings, and rumination.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is handled collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, experience, and preferences, and may adjust the approach as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or let someone choose a quieter moment without changing other plans. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so tools learned in therapy fit into everyday life.
