Stephanie Dixon , LPC

Stephanie Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 13 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and families in Missouri. She began her career as a career counselor and over time expanded her focus to include trauma and adoption issues, anxiety, depression, and career-related concerns. She also has experience working with families affected by the criminal justice system, bringing a depth of understanding to complex family dynamics.

Her style is relational and approachable, offering a warm, interactive environment while remaining direct when clarity is needed. Sessions are guided by the client - Stephanie encourages clients to take the lead on what they want to address and invites open feedback about what is or is not working. This collaborative stance helps shape treatment in ways that fit each person or family.

Stephanie integrates practical strategies with attention to relationships and attachment, tailoring care to issues such as trauma, mood disorders, parenting challenges, and transitions. She welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals, young adults, and families as they navigate change and healing, and she looks forward to supporting clients through their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns; this approach helps people and families who are navigating adoption, attachment issues, or relational trust concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and supports clients in finding their own direction when coping with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. In addition, trauma-focused therapy is used when past trauma or abuse is central to a person’s struggles - this approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences and building skills to manage related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify methods that match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
