Highly recommend using him as your counselor. His style is different from most and we are able to solve the issue I was having in a short amount of time. After doing sessions with Brett I felt better about myself and about how things are going in life

Brett Wilcox (M.Ed., LPC-S, CDCII)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alaska with 25 years of experience working as a mental health and substance abuse counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and interpersonal violence. I have significant history facilitating group counseling for teens and adults focused on substance abuse, domestic violence, and sex offending. I also enjoy working with couples.
Coherence Therapy is my preferred therapy model. Coherence Therapy is a system of experiential, empathic psychotherapy that enables therapists to consistently foster deep, lasting shifts, dispelling clients’ symptoms at their emotional roots often in a relatively small number of sessions. The steps of Coherence Therapy carry out the process of memory reconsolidation identified by brain researchers. Understanding reconsolidation shows us exactly what gives new therapeutic experiences the potency to actually replace and erase entrenched, unwanted behaviors, beliefs and states of mind.
Coherence Therapy differs from the approaches of standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in that it does not attempt to correct or change troubling thoughts, emotions or behaviors. Rather it enables clients to access and identify unconscious constructs empowering them to erase, transform and rewrite neural pathways resulting in profound and lasting change. Stated differently, Coherence Therapy does not label, pathologize or fight against symptoms, rather it addresses and resolves problems at the root level.
Clients who have had lengthy unsatisfactory experiences with other therapists have thrived in my practice and found resolution within just a few sessions.
My counseling style is informed by my foundational belief in individual autonomy and agency. I believe it is my role to empower clients to achieve their full potential and destiny in a strong and healthy manner. I view my clients as the experts in their own lives and do my best to minimize the power differential that frequently occurs in counseling relationships. I do not view myself as an expert who is reaching down to help troubled souls. Rather I view myself as a fallible human being who is able to empathize with others especially when they are unable to empathize with themselves. I do my best to avoid interpreting clients’ situations according to my perspective, because such interpretations are often incorrect and empowerment is better found when clients discover truths from within their own unconscious and conscious landscape.
Each client is unique, therefore treatment for each client is also unique. If between session assignments are given, they are usually in the form of asking clients to hold in their conscious minds the constructs that emerged during the session. This simple task often results in a surprisingly natural resolution to issues that were seemingly entrenched and unchangeable.
If these concepts resonate with you, then we may form a good team. If so, I would be pleased to meet with you for a few sessions so you can determine whether we’re a good fit. You are, after all, in charge of the process.
If you so choose, I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Highly recommend using him as your counselor. His style is different from most and we are able to solve the issue I was having in a short amount of time. After doing sessions with Brett I felt better about myself and about how things are going in life
Brett is wonderful, very insightful and with down to earth solutions. Very pleased with his counseling!
Brett has helped me see things from a different perspective, and to be more compassionate and understanding towards myself. He has given me some great tools to use in the times of need, whereas before I had no solution for the thoughts I was having. I have a different way to think about things now than I did before, and I am extremely grateful for Brett Wilcox.
I have never felt more comfortable talking to anyone about my life as I do with Brett. Very genuine, caring and allows you to take things at your own speed of comfort. Would recommend him to anyone. He’s wonderful.
Brett is very competent, kind, and responsive. I was initially apprehensive to begin therapy but after working with Brett for several months I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and of him.
I like Brett's style, very laid back and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend him to others.
I have really enjoyed working with Brett. He is a great listener and I've gained a lot from working through some painful topics with him. He offers kind perspective and ideas without judgement. I would highly recommend Brett!
I had expected to receive help on navigating some challenges in my life and instead Brett helped me see the situation in a different light, which brought lightness to my life. Strangely the angst I had towards a situation disappeared. He gave me recommendations of books I might be interested in reading and tips to help me on the journey to live my best life. My only regret is that it took so long for our paths to cross. I hadn’t realized how much I was carrying on my shoulders thinking I could manage on my own. Life can be difficult in normal years and adding in a pandemic on top of that can exacerbate the situation. I would highly recommend Brett to help you lighten your load too.
One of the best therapists I’ve ever had.
I am a therapist myself, which makes working with a therapist difficult. Brett approaches my therapy sessions with caring and compassion. He uses a very effective therapeutic approach. I can feel the progress I am making with his expert guidance and I feel truly thankful.
Brett is fantastic!
I'm exceptionally grateful to Brett after every session because he listens and is attentive and responsive in a positive manner which I'm in need of at this time in my life and in the situation I'm in as well. I definitely recommend him and Betterhelp when someone asks for advice on their mental health journey.
Brett has helped me identify what is deep inside of me that is contributing to my long-term struggles. He is inquisitive, listens deeply and allows me to express myself without judgement. I would recommend Brett.
Bret was great to work with. Being able to open up about my troubles was much easier than I thought it would be. He help me by instilling the right description of my words to get me to understand what my need was and how to find the solution on my own by giving me the tool I needed to work with mentally. This was a life changing experience. I highly recommend Bret.
Very thoughtful and helpful
Q vey good listener. You an feel him thinking. No word is a waste. Perfect!
I appreciate Bret’s guidance and the suggestions and for giving me to tools go forward positively. Bret listens to the person I want to maintain and be despite obstacles. We delve into past and present, and I leave the sessions feeling stronger and capable.
I'm still kinda on the fence in regards to counseling. Given the several different dynamics in my situation, Brett and I haven't gotten to all the issues, discussed all techniques, exercises, and assignments that, im already not doing. I'd like to find new ways or have weekly suggestions to incorporate into my daily life, to help me deal with my deeper issues. I really like Brett's approach i feel our personalities and views mesh well, at times I wish we had longer sessions to get deeper into certain topics, mainly because it can be difficult for me to dive right into the heart of my issues. Then once i feel comfortable discussing certain things, I feel like the time is already up and then I have to start all over in the next session. My hope is to develop new tools in ways to setting boundaries for my self and future relationships, and friendships. Brett is easy to talk to, and would reccomend his services to others. Thank you!
Brett listens. Brett cares. Brett good.
Brett is empathetic, understanding, and an active listener. I appreciate his thoughtfulness in his work and how he sets up the session to allow space for vulnerability and reflection.
