About Dixie

Dixie Eppolito is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on a decade of clinical experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma-related concerns.

Background and approach

She centers a client-focused stance, viewing each person as the expert on their own story while offering therapeutic tools and structure drawn from evidence-informed methods. Dixie emphasizes strengths and resilience as foundations for change, helping clients explore patterns that contribute to compassion fatigue, relationship strain, mood challenges, or difficulties with attention and impulse control.

Her practice integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based ideas to improve relational patterns, and client-centered listening that prioritizes emotional safety and collaboration. Dixie’s work also extends to grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming.

She accepts international clients and offers flexible formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Attachment-based work emphasizes how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and patterns; in an online setting it can help people notice and change ways of relating that contribute to anxiety, intimacy issues, or compassion fatigue. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is practical for managing anxiety, mood challenges, ADHD-related difficulties, and coping skills for daily life. Client-centered therapy prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to set the pace and goals of work while the therapist reflects and supports strengths.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods or combination of methods are the best fit, and will adapt techniques as progress unfolds over time.

Online therapy with Dixie offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or long distances. These formats support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver active therapies and skills coaching in ways that match a client’s communication style and routine.
