About Dixie

Dixie Eppolito is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, compassion fatigue, and related concerns. Dixie emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She describes people as the experts on their own lives and uses that perspective to guide sessions. Dixie listens for strengths clients already use and builds on them. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change in day-to-day life.

Her clinical work blends attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral strategies. That mix helps when relationships, boundaries, or recurring patterns cause distress. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning and personal patterns.

Dixie has particular experience supporting people facing addiction, post-traumatic stress, mood concerns, and codependency patterns. She also helps with grief, sleep and eating issues, anger, and problems with concentration or impulsivity. Practical coping skills and clearer choices are regular focuses in sessions.

People can expect a straightforward, respectful approach that aims to increase options and reduce overwhelm. Dixie encourages small, manageable steps and regular review of progress. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated relationship problems, difficulty trusting, or trouble setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people name what matters most and choose manageable next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete parts and teaches skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with urges or compulsions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dixie will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and making changes if something is not working for the client.

Session format details are not listed here, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients who speak English to connect. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills training, and reflective conversation to an online setting so the practical parts of therapy still happen.
