About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a Florida LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and anger among other concerns. Dixie frames therapy around what each person already knows about their life and strengths. She asks straightforward questions and helps people find workable strategies they can use day to day.
In sessions Dixie mixes practical skills with reflective work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions and urges. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and personal values shape reactions. Jungian concepts may be used for exploring meaning and life patterns when that fits the person’s goals.
People often come with stress from work, trouble sleeping, or relationship strain that shows up as anger or resentment. Dixie helps name the patterns that keep those problems repeating and practices new responses in session. She works on coping plans, impulse management, and ways to rebuild trust with others when needed.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on small, repeatable skills as well as clearer thinking about triggers and goals. Over time the aim is to reduce impulsive reactions, improve emotional regulation, and increase control over day-to-day choices.
She offers therapy in English and is open to working with clients from other countries. Before scheduling, clients complete a short questionnaire and pick a first session that fits their needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dixie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood problems. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive actions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past and present relationships shape reactions and coping patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dixie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That choice can change over time as new issues come up or as practical skills are mastered.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or allow phone-only visits for brief updates. The therapist and client will discuss what works best for scheduling, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings.
