About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She centers sessions around the person in front of her and treats clients with respect and straightforward care. Dixie works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She encourages small, practical steps toward feeling more stable and hopeful.
Dixie uses approaches that help people understand patterns in relationships and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are offered for intense emotions and impulsivity.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work, during which she supported people dealing with grief, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, and substance-related concerns. Dixie also addresses issues like ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and self-harm with goal-focused conversations and practical skills training. She acknowledges the strain faced by first responders, veterans, and people coping with disasters and large life changes.
Dixie emphasizes a client-centered stance. Sessions lean on collaboration, clear goals, and homework in bite-sized steps. She believes clients bring strengths and insight, and she helps translate those into coping strategies that fit daily life.
People who prefer an empathetic, down-to-earth therapist often find her style approachable. She aims to help people regain a sense of control, improve relationships, and manage symptoms so they can return to everyday activities with more ease.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dixie uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, accepting relationship where people can state their needs and goals. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and adjusting the pace so sessions feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to practice small changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotions feel intense or impulsive, teaching concrete tools for regulation and distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your concerns and try methods that match your goals and preferences. If one method doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan together with you and focus on what helps in day-to-day life.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can access help from wherever they are. Licensed professionals can combine therapy tasks, skills practice, and goal setting in remote sessions just as they do in person, adapting tools to your routine and constraints.
