About Dixie

Dixie Eppolito is a licensed mental health counselor who integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and attachment-based perspectives to help people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience in Florida, she focuses on building practical skills while honoring each person’s lived experience and strengths. Dixie frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins by listening and validating what clients already bring to their healing.

Her work spans a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and process or substance addictions. She draws on evidence-informed techniques to help clients develop coping strategies, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthen interpersonal connections.

Dixie emphasizes compassionate support and practical tools to help clients move toward clearer goals and greater day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Dixie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve interpersonal functioning and healing from relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy frames the work around the person’s own priorities, providing empathic listening and support to foster self-directed growth.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make care more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules. These formats enable ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and continuity of care for people who need adaptable options due to location or time constraints.
