About Stephanie

Stephanie Dixon is an LPC based in Missouri who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 13 years of professional experience, she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s concerns, including trauma recovery, grief, addiction, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Her style emphasizes a warm, relational tone combined with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

Stephanie tends to let clients lead the pace and priorities of sessions while offering direct guidance when it is helpful. She welcomes open feedback so sessions can be adjusted to reflect what is working and what needs to change.

Clients seeking support for attachment issues, caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, post-traumatic stress, or social anxiety may find her combined focus on relationships and coping strategies useful. Stephanie also addresses career questions, eating and body-image concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, helping people set goals and practice new skills in daily life.

Approaches That Guide Online Care



Stephanie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practice concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and emotional needs stemming from early experiences, which can be especially useful for attachment issues, adoption-related concerns, and family conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie partners with each person to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the focus over time so sessions reflect what is most helpful for their situation and preferences.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work between meetings with written or chat-based check-ins.
