About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse. She also addresses compassion fatigue and other mood and behavior concerns.
Dixie uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She blends that with attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to clarify what matters most to each person.
Her work often includes concrete coping tools for overwhelm and relapse prevention strategies for addictive behaviors. For trauma-related issues she helps people recognize triggers and practice grounding and emotion regulation skills. Dixie also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when high emotion or impulsivity make routines hard to keep.
She has helped people handle grief, relationship strain, work stress, and sleep or eating difficulties. Dixie supports those dealing with mood disorders, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and first responder or veteran-related concerns through structured practice and clear goals.
Sessions are practical and action-oriented. Dixie invites clients to test small behavior changes between meetings and reviews what worked. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Online sessions with Dixie draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make thought and behavior patterns visible and changeable. CBT focuses on concrete skills - tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing small behavior changes - which can be practiced between appointments and reviewed in the next meeting.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current reactions. That approach helps when relationship stress, intimacy issues, or caregiving strain come up. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for the person to describe goals and for the therapist to reflect and clarify what matters most to them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dixie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She discusses what to try first and adjusts the plan based on what helps.
