Stephanie Dixon, LPC

Stephanie Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem or addictive behaviors.

Stephanie takes a straightforward and relational approach in sessions. She offers a warm, interactive space and encourages people to guide the conversation. She is direct when needed and asks for feedback so sessions can be adjusted to fit each person’s needs.

Her background includes early work as a career counselor and later roles serving adults, teens, and families. That variety shaped how she frames problems - looking at thinking patterns, relationships, and everyday habits together. She draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused methods to address symptoms and life patterns.

In practical terms, Stephanie helps people identify thought habits and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses motivational interviewing when people want to change habits or manage addictive behaviors. For trauma-related concerns she blends trauma-focused strategies with relational work to help people feel more steady in day-to-day life.

Stephanie practices in Missouri and works in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the matching and scheduling process.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeating relationship cycles are getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going, teaching concrete strategies to change thinking and actions. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on how traumatic experiences affect mood, behavior, and relationships, and it uses careful, paced work to reduce the hold of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people use sessions during a break at work or from another location that saves time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to work well in remote sessions, helping clients practice changes in the flow of everyday life.
