About Brett

Brett Wilcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience in Alaska.

Background and approach

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with experiential and mindfulness-informed methods to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and addictions. His approach emphasizes helping people identify underlying patterns that sustain distress and learn practical strategies for change.

Over his career he has worked extensively with individuals and groups around substance use, domestic violence, interpersonal violence, and sexual abuse, and has facilitated group counseling for teens and adults focused on those topics. He also has experience supporting couples and families through relational challenges and life transitions.

Brett aims to empower clients by honoring their autonomy and helping them discover insights within their own experience rather than imposing external interpretations. Sessions may include mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing techniques to support change, and cognitive-behavioral strategies tailored to each person’s needs.

He offers services in English and sees clients in Alaska, providing several remote session options to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Many clients find benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change emotions and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy complements that work by teaching present-moment awareness and self-calming practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, particularly helpful for substance use and goal-directed behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor techniques that feel workable and respectful of the client’s values. That collaboration helps ensure therapy stays focused, relevant, and flexible as needs evolve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations within Alaska. These options support continuity of care, allow for varied communication styles, and provide flexibility in scheduling so clients can engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
