About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and brings a steady, patient approach to help people facing strong emotions and life changes. Amie aims to meet clients where they are and build a plan that fits each person's needs.
Amie favors client-centered work that puts the person's goals first. She blends several therapeutic styles so sessions can change with what someone needs that week.
Background and approach
That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors one time, and exploring emotions or life stories another session. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges with parenting or blended families. She also works with mood disorders, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and first responder or veteran-related stress.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University and long clinical practice since 1995. The LPC credential appears for Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In sessions she listens first, then sets small, practical steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Amie uses tools from cognitive and behavioral work, emotion-focused methods, dialectical skills, and depth-oriented techniques when they suit the client's goals. She recognizes how life transitions, caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and cultural or multicultural issues affect daily functioning. Amie helps people sort priorities, reduce distressing symptoms, and build clearer ways forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective, offering space to be heard and to set priorities for change. It helps when someone wants a respectful, paced process that follows their rhythm.CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, compulsions, and unhelpful patterns. It is useful for symptom-focused work and for building specific coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be helpful when strong emotions, intense reactions, or relationship patterns make daily life harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and comfort level, and may combine elements over time so sessions match changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, updates, or when written reflection feels more helpful. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep continuity during busy or changing routines.
