About Stephanie

Stephanie Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults and young adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also helps people navigating adoption and foster care concerns and attachment issues.

Stephanie takes a warm, relational approach in sessions. She talks openly and can be direct when needed, but she invites people to guide the pace and topics. Feedback is encouraged so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Her work often focuses on trauma, grief, and complicated losses. She uses practical techniques to manage anxiety, mood disorders, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to domestic violence or sexual assault.

Stephanie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support change and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events need careful attention. These methods are used to address relationships with self and others, self-esteem, and difficult emotions.

People who want straightforward, collaborative care tend to do well with her style. She aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions. Her practice is based in Missouri and she conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Stephanie blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape present feelings and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's voice, with the therapist following your lead and responding with empathy and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is a conversation. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. That means sessions can be adjusted over time if something feels off or a different focus is needed.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine skill-building from CBT with relational work from attachment-focused methods to address trauma, grief, and adjustment concerns in remote sessions.
