About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University. Amie emphasizes meeting people where they are and building a collaborative plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
Her approach is grounded in person-centered care. She blends techniques to suit individual needs, drawing on cognitive and emotional methods to address anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. Amie has worked with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and sleep or eating problems. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family questions, first responder and veteran-related issues, and panic or obsessive concerns.
She describes therapy as a team effort. Amie listens, offers practical strategies, and helps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. She also uses deeper exploratory work when clients want to understand long-standing patterns.
Amie practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person’s schedule. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedules sessions according to mutual availability.
How Amie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support while helping people name their goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines emotion regulation and practical coping tools so people can handle intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amie will review your concerns and goals and propose a mix of methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process - you and she will try things and adjust what doesn’t help until a useful plan emerges.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let you work face to face without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a brief break, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing written support between meetings. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable.
