About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University and lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family topics, and blended family issues.
Amie uses a person-centered approach as a starting point. She describes working with people to set practical goals and then using a mix of methods to reach those goals. Sessions emphasize clear problem-solving, learning new coping skills, and making gradual changes that fit day-to-day life.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior techniques for emotional regulation, emotionally-focused ideas for relationship-related concerns, and Jungian-informed reflections when meaning and identity are central. She also draws on narrative and motivational strategies when addiction or trauma are present.
Amie frames therapy as collaborative work. She helps people clarify what matters most and then tests approaches that respect each person's preferences and pace. Progress is tracked in concrete steps rather than vague promises.
She practices in Pennsylvania and carries the LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions can work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and choices. It puts the client's goals at the center and aims to build a working relationship where people can talk through problems and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day difficulties.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. That can help when strong reactions, anger, or self-regulation are a concern. Amie will discuss these approaches with each person and together they will decide which ones to try first based on goals and what feels workable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let someone check in from a break at work or between family tasks. They can also allow for phone-only check-ins when video is not convenient. The therapist will work with the client to pick a format and pace that align with their needs and daily routines.
