About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She brings ten years of experience working with trauma, addictions, compassion fatigue, and mood concerns. Dixie centers sessions on the person's strengths and practical steps forward.
She emphasizes a calm, steady presence while people work through difficult moments. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Dixie listens first to understand what matters most, then she uses talk and skills practice to address symptoms and daily challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns and on dialectical behavior skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships shape current reactions. Jungian themes may be woven in to help people reflect on meaning and personal narratives.
Dixie adapts methods to fit each person's goals rather than following a single formula. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood changes, grief, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, addiction and process addictions, and recovery from trauma. Dixie also supports people facing career stress, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and challenges tied to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this can mean talking about patterns in close relationships and trying different ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses clear exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dixie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining CBT skills for immediate symptom relief with attachment-informed conversations about relationships or using DBT skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or continued practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or recovery schedules while keeping a steady course of care.
