About Stephanie
Stephanie Dixon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and related life challenges, including social anxiety and phobia.
Stephanie began her career as a career counselor and later broadened her practice to include adults, teens, and family-related concerns. She has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment questions, and issues tied to the criminal justice system. Her background also includes helping people facing grief, caregiver strain, and mood disorders.
Her approach is relational and client-centered. She aims to be interactive in sessions and lets people steer the topics they want to cover. At times she will be direct when that helps move things forward, and she invites honest feedback about what is or is not helpful.
In practical terms, sessions tend to focus on coping skills, patterns in relationships and behavior, and steps people can try between meetings. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and attachment-focused thinking when those fit a person’s goals.
People who reach out can expect clear conversation about goals and next steps. Stephanie often helps people sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and respond differently to stressful situations. She works in English and sees clients in Missouri, drawing on thirteen years of work in counseling settings.
How Stephanie blends approaches for online work
Stephanie often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her clinical work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns. Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships and early experiences shape current ways of connecting and coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. She will collaborate with each person to select methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single technique from the start. Confirm the available session formats before you book, as current options are shown during the sign-up process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments. If video is not ideal, many therapists and licensed professionals also use phone sessions for quicker or lower-bandwidth conversations, but please verify which formats Stephanie is offering when you schedule.Areas of expertise
