About Dixie

Dixie Eppolito is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. She draws on ten years of professional experience to offer calm, practical support. Dixie speaks plainly and meets people where they are in their lives.

Dixie believes clients know their own stories and brings that respect into every session. She encourages small, realistic steps and focuses on strengths.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and geared toward clear goals like better sleep, healthier routines, or managing intense emotions. Her background includes work with compassion fatigue and a range of mood and behavioral concerns. That experience informs how she responds when someone is overwhelmed or burned out.

Dixie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift patterns of thinking and behavior. She also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current bonds and reactions. When needed, she draws from dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Dixie may incorporate Jungian perspectives to explore meaning and personal patterns when that fits a client's goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in Florida and beyond. Dixie holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor license, FL LMHC MH16442.

She supports people who want practical strategies and steady, respectful guidance as they navigate life changes and relationship stresses.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and bonds. Online sessions can use these ideas to map relationship dynamics and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice. In online sessions CBT tools are taught and then applied between meetings to see real-world progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dixie will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with simple goals and adjust over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range makes it easier to fit work around busy family schedules, manage sudden stressors, or continue care while traveling. These formats let clients practice skills, check in between sessions, and keep steady progress without extra travel time.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
