Stephanie Dixon, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Stephanie

Stephanie Dixon is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related life changes. Her style is warm and relational, and she invites honest feedback so sessions stay useful and practical.

She began as a career counselor and later expanded her practice to include adults, teens, and families. That path shaped her interest in adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and challenges families face after contact with the criminal justice system.

Background and approach

She also addresses caregiver stress, grief, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. In sessions she combines a direct, conversational tone with whatever pace feels right for each person. Clients guide the topics, and she steps in with structure, questions, or skills when needed.

She favors clear, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory-talk. Her toolbox includes approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, along with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods. She draws on these to help people understand patterns, build coping skills, and improve relationships.

Stephanie is licensed in Missouri as an LPC. She offers appointments in formats that fit different routines and schedules. New clients start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current connections. It focuses on patterns in relationships and helps clients learn safer ways to relate and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to shift thinking and behavior. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic events with tools to reduce their hold on day-to-day life and to build coping skills.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Stephanie collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is and isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity when life gets unpredictable. The variety of formats also lets people use skill coaching in text or deeper conversation over video, depending on what they need.

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.
