Stephanie Dixon, LPC

Stephanie Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 13 years of clinical experience. She began her career working with adults as a career counselor and gradually expanded her focus to include teens and families. Over the years she has developed particular expertise in trauma and adoption issues, as well as anxiety, depression, and career-related concerns. She also has experience supporting families affected by the criminal justice system.

Stephanie favors a relational style that is warm and interactive, building therapeutic work around a collaborative connection. She can be direct when the situation calls for it, yet she typically allows clients to guide the direction of sessions and sets priorities together with them. Open feedback is encouraged, and she asks clients to be honest about what is helping and what needs to change so therapy can stay useful and relevant.

With a practical, person-centered approach, Stephanie aims to help individuals, teens, and family members navigate difficult transitions and complex emotional challenges. She welcomes the opportunity to work with clients who are ready to explore change and healing.

Relational and evidence-based approaches for online care

Stephanie draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to inform online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships - it helps clients explore how early bonds influence current trust, intimacy, and conflict and can be useful for adoption, family, and relationship concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client’s priorities and supports self-directed growth. This approach often benefits those facing life changes, career decisions, or struggles with self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Stephanie works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer receiving care from home or on the go. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and tailor appointments to practical needs.
