    About Stephanie

    Stephanie Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her style is warm and interactive, and she encourages honest feedback about what is or isn’t working.

    Stephanie began her career as a career counselor and broadened her practice over time. She supports adults and young adults with concerns related to relationships, parenting, grief, addiction, and eating issues. She also addresses challenges tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.

    Her approach centers on building a trusting connection so clients can set the pace. She often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

    Stephanie also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current struggles, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt keeps affecting daily life. Sessions tend to be collaborative, direct when needed, and guided by the client’s goals.

    People describe practical work in sessions - identifying coping skills, making step-by-step plans, and addressing guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue. Stephanie works from Missouri and offers services in English. If you want to begin, follow the Start Therapy button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online care

    Stephanie commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, asking questions that uncover what matters most to them. This approach often helps with substance use concerns, motivation around behavior change, and readiness to try new coping strategies.

    She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns. That work can be useful for people wrestling with trust, relationship struggles, or attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice as well, meaning sessions aim to follow the client’s lead and respect their goals while the therapist offers empathy and clarity.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep steady progress while adapting session length and focus to everyday life.
