About Brett
Brett Wilcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of clinical work in Alaska. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, substance concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. He frames therapy around people’s strengths and their ability to make change.
Brett uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. He prefers methods that reach what lies beneath repeating patterns and painful feelings. His style emphasizes respect for each person's autonomy and lived experience.
Clients may find his work direct but empathic. He aims to minimize the typical power gap between therapist and client and treats people as the experts on their own lives. When homework is suggested, it is usually a simple practice that asks clients to notice and hold key insights between sessions.
Over his career he has helped people with substance use concerns, domestic violence matters, sexual abuse sequelae, and interpersonal trauma, and has extensive experience leading group work for teenagers and adults. He also has a history of working with relationship issues and couples.
People who have previously felt stuck in therapy have reported changes after a few focused sessions. Those who are curious about approaching problems at their emotional roots may find his way of working a good fit. Prospective clients are encouraged to try a few sessions to see if the approach fits their needs.
