Dixie Eppolito, LMHC

Dixie Eppolito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She centers sessions on the relationship between people and their struggles, and she helps individuals manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. Dixie speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. With ten years of experience, Dixie draws on several therapy styles to meet different needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and follow the client’s lead. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones. Her work includes helping people cope with compassion fatigue and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Dixie also supports those dealing with mood disorders, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and process or substance addictions. She helps people who are facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, or major life changes. Sessions focus on strengths and step-by-step changes. Dixie treats people as the expert on their own lives and helps them build skills that work outside sessions. She provides a calm space to talk through what’s felt overwhelming and to try new ways of coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Dixie accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English.

How these approaches guide online work

Dixie uses client-centered therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building on their strengths to solve current problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety or depression and offers practical exercises to change them. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dixie will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so clients get practical tools and space to talk through emotions and relationship patterns. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between meetings. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, use audio instead of video when bandwidth is limited, or schedule shorter check-ins during a workday. Licensed professionals adapt methods so the work translates well to online settings and everyday routines.
