About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue, and supports people facing related life pressures. Dixie writes plainly about helping clients find workable ways forward rather than offering quick fixes.
She treats a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders, and depression. Additional focus areas include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, process and substance addictions, post-traumatic stress, and first responder and veteran issues. Dixie uses this breadth to respond to what each person brings to the room.
Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used for practical coping skills, and elements of Jungian Therapy appear when exploring personal meaning and symbols.
In sessions she helps people name problems, try small changes, and practice skills between visits. She treats parenting concerns by supporting individual adults who are managing family stress and parenting responsibilities. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than complex theory.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and tools they can use day to day. Dixie accepts clients in English and works with people both inside and outside the United States. Before scheduling, confirm session options and details through the booking flow.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dixie commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns affect current stress and interactions. This approach helps people notice behavior that repeats in close relationships and consider different ways of responding.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach concrete skills. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns, while DBT offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools for intense moments. These methods are practical for anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, and parenting-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dixie will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to prioritize. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find skill practice between sessions fits more naturally when sessions are virtual.
