About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Pennsylvania and has practiced for 27 years. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns using person-centered and blended counseling approaches. Sessions address practical goals and focus on what the client wants to change.
Amie trained at Villanova University, where she earned a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations. Her long experience includes work with mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also pays attention to caregiver stress, first responder and veteran concerns, and multicultural factors that affect wellbeing.
Her approach starts with client-centered therapy - listening first and following the client's priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior techniques to build emotional regulation and coping skills. Emotionally-focused and Jungian ideas may be used when they match a client's goals.
Amie describes treatment as collaborative. She jointly develops plans that reflect a person’s goals and daily life. Sessions tend to emphasize practical steps, coping skills, and clearer patterns in thinking and relationships.
People who come for work on addiction, trauma, parenting strain, or career stress will find an emphasis on measurable steps. The focus is on making changes that fit a person's circumstances and values.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client review goals and adjust plans together without changing that core focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is skills and homework oriented; it works online through structured conversations, worksheets, and practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that translate into step-by-step coaching in sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
Confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling, the ability to fit sessions into a workday or caregiving routine, and fewer logistics for travel. Online work can support short check-ins or longer therapy sessions and can be used to practice real-world skills between meetings. Ask about formats when you book so the session style matches daily life and therapeutic aims.
