Amie Allanson-Dundon , LPC

Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of clinical experience. She works from Pennsylvania and focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood issues, addictions, trauma, and women's concerns among other challenges.

She aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan around their goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what someone can manage. Amie uses a mix of approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

In the therapy room she blends client-centered listening with techniques that help change thinking and behavior. She also brings in skills for emotion regulation and relationship work when those things are needed. That means sessions can include skill practice, guided reflection, and focused problem solving.

Amie has long experience addressing issues like grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and work-related burnout. She also supports people facing obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, bipolar mood changes, and multicultural concerns. Her background includes work with first responders, veterans, and people navigating fertility or separation challenges.

People who prefer a straightforward, flexible approach tend to do well with her style. She encourages steady progress and respects each person's pace. To start, a brief intake helps match goals to a workable plan and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. It emphasizes empathy and working at a person's pace, which can be helpful for people facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships and can be useful when strong emotional reactions cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods, try things out, and adjust based on what helps most. That decision is collaborative and based on the client's goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for full-session conversations and skill practice, phone calls can fit a short break from work, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
