About David
Dr. David Wilcox is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 34 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. He also addresses aging and geriatric issues, attachment and communication problems, substance misuse, and caregiving stress.
He has spent much of his career on trauma‑related work, both clinical and subclinical. He also helps people close to trauma survivors understand trauma dynamics so they can respond more effectively. When substance misuse is present, he incorporates that into treatment planning rather than treating it as separate from other concerns.
His practice draws on cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior therapy techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution‑focused methods. He uses the transtheoretical Stage of Change model to match interventions to where a person is in their readiness to change. He describes work as addressing biological, psychological, social, and spiritual areas as needed.
Sessions are practical and focused on skills, decision points, and clear goals. He often helps people identify patterns, test new behaviors, and practice coping strategies between meetings. He uses short-term problem solving when that fits and longer work for complex trauma or relationship issues.
Dr. Wilcox conducts sessions in English and bases care on client needs and preferences. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some relationship patterns and gives clear skills to practice between sessions.DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It helps people gain tools for impulse control, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Wilcox will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, readiness to change, and the issues they bring. He tailors pacing and technique so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, web‑based sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow regular check‑ins after in‑person care. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check‑ins or when video is difficult, while video sessions allow demonstrations of skills and face‑to‑face interaction. Ask about which formats Dr. Wilcox is offering when you complete the matching questionnaire.
