About Stephanie
Stephanie Dixon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or big life changes. Her style is warm and direct when needed, and she invites honest feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
She began her career as a career counselor, then widened her practice to support adults and young adults facing trauma, adoption-related concerns, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
She also has experience with addictions, eating concerns, and issues that come from involvement with the criminal justice system. These threads shape how she listens and plans work with each person. Stephanie draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships affect feelings and behavior.
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical steps and thought patterns need changing, and motivational interviewing helps with making purposeful shifts. Her sessions aim to be collaborative.
She checks in about goals and adjusts pace to match each client’s comfort. She will offer straightforward feedback and encourage clients to say when something isn’t helping. Stephanie practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English.
She focuses on helping people find manageable strategies for daily life, build self-compassion, and move forward after difficult experiences.
Approaches that fit online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify recurring relationship dynamics and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress and often includes concrete exercises to use between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides focused strategies for people healing from past harm and can be adapted to a supportive pace in remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning includes checking what feels helpful and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing helps someone express themselves. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
