About Dixie
Dixie Eppolito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Dixie emphasizes practical steps people can use when life feels overwhelming, including problems with anger, relationships, sleep, and self-esteem.
Her approach starts from the idea that clients know their own stories. She uses that knowledge together with structured tools to address upsetting patterns. Sessions include clear discussions about coping skills, emotional regulation, and how daily routines affect mood and behavior.
Dixie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow the concerns the person brings. Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear where they fit the client's needs.
In practice she focuses on short, doable changes alongside deeper themes that come up over time. That can mean learning breathing and grounding techniques, building healthier boundaries, or planning steps to reduce substance-related harms. Dixie also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career stress, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Her work aims to be straightforward and practical. People who feel overwhelmed by anger, resentment, or repeated patterns often start by clarifying what matters most to them. From there she helps set small goals and track progress in everyday life.
