About Brett

Brett Wilcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse counseling in Alaska. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, and self esteem concerns. Brett emphasizes client autonomy and aims to help people regain a sense of agency over their lives.

Brett uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address practical problems and habits. He also has long experience running group programs for substance use, domestic violence, and related issues among teens and adults. He often works with individuals who want concrete change in behavior, thinking, or relationships.

Sessions tend to focus on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and strengthening motivation for lasting change. Brett describes his role as collaborative rather than directive, treating clients as experts in their own lives while offering guidance and skills. He may assign simple between-session tasks to help new insights take hold.

Many people come seeking relief from entrenched problems such as low self esteem, addiction, or persistent anxiety. Brett has helped clients find measurable shifts in a relatively short course of work. His approach aims to uncover underlying factors that keep problems going and then address them in practical, actionable steps.

He works in Alaska and conducts sessions in English. Brett encourages people to try a few sessions to see if the fit feels right, and he supports clients in choosing the pace and goals for their work together.

How these approaches guide online work

Many of Brett's methods translate into concrete steps that can be used in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with short exercises and practice tasks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change and increasing readiness through respectful conversation and goal-setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Brett works collaboratively with people to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps the individual most.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises at home between meetings. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency and make steady progress toward goals.
