About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings a decade of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and related concerns such as compassion fatigue and ADHD. Dixie centers sessions on the person in front of her.
She treats each client as the expert on their life and works from their goals. Conversations are direct and practical, with short-term tools and longer-term skills woven together.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes talk and action. Clients can expect to learn coping skills for intense emotions, behavioral steps to reduce unhelpful habits, and ways to improve daily routines like sleep and eating. Dixie also offers support for identity and relationship concerns, grief, and career stress.
She draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to build trust and understand relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to change thinking and manage strong feelings. Jungian perspectives may be introduced when exploring deeper personal meaning.
Dixie works with people across a wide range of issues including mood disorders, impulse concerns, process and substance addictions, obsessive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, and co-occurring conditions. Her style is collaborative and practical, aimed at helping people regain control and move toward a more balanced life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dixie uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as practical tools in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when people notice repeated difficulties in relationships or trust. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center and emphasizes empathetic listening and working at the client's pace to build insight and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and many daily challenges.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Dixie collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, trying methods and adjusting as needed. She aims to blend short-term coping strategies with longer-term insight work so clients can see practical progress while understanding deeper patterns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into work, travel, or busy family schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
