Amie Allanson-Dundon , LPC

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 combines a person-centered foundation with a blended counseling model to meet each person where they are and support meaningful change.

She holds additional certifications in trauma care, substance use treatment, and co-occurring disorders - credentials that reflect focused training in working with people affected by trauma, alcohol and drug concerns, and overlapping mental health and addiction issues. Her approach draws from narrative trauma therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, selecting tools that align with each individual’s needs and goals.

Amie works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting and blended family issues, and mood and attention conditions. Treatment plans are tailored to the person rather than the diagnosis, and she emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and respect for each client’s chosen path.

She acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help and commends commitment to self-care, approaching each therapeutic relationship with empathy, practical strategies, and clinical depth.

Approaches and Online Care for Personal Change

Amie Allanson-Dundon integrates several well-established methods to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes meeting people where they are and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore values, goals, and personal growth - it is especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-transition concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood and attention-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limits. Working with licensed professionals remotely can maintain continuity of care, allow for timely skill practice between sessions, and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
