About David
Dr. David Wilcox is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. He has worked in counseling since 1991 and holds the credential LMHC. He brings over three decades of experience to issues like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression.
His background includes a large amount of trauma-related work, both clinical and subclinical. He also helps people affected by a loved one’s trauma so they can better understand the dynamics involved. When substance misuse has developed as a way to cope with intrusive thoughts or feelings, he offers support for that concern as well.
Dr. Wilcox uses several practical approaches in sessions. He draws on cognitive-behavioral methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses stages-of-change ideas and solution-focused techniques to set achievable steps and goals.
He views each person as having biological, psychological, social, and spiritual parts. Counseling aims to address those areas over time, not all at once. Sessions tend to focus on concrete problems, clearer options, and steps people can take between meetings.
People who value a straightforward, goal-oriented way of working may find his style helpful. He practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Those wanting to begin can follow the site’s start procedure to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive-behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing emotions and improving how people handle intense moments. It can help with impulsivity, strong mood swings, and patterns that lead to conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and style. That choice often changes as concerns evolve and new steps are tried.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity when life requires flexibility. Licensed professionals use these methods to focus on practical change, and technique choices are adapted to each person's needs.
