About Amie

Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has practiced since 1995. She works from Pennsylvania and draws on long experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and life transitions.

She earned a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University and holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Amie uses a person-centered approach that starts by listening and meeting people where they are. From that place she and the client choose practical steps to reach clear goals.

Her work mixes methods to fit each person. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense feelings. Emotionally focused and Jungian perspectives can be added when the issues call for deeper relational or symbolic work.

Amie also addresses specific life stresses such as parenting strain, caregiver burden, blended family issues, first responder and veteran concerns, fertility and fatherhood questions, grief, and workplace or career stress. She helps with sleep and eating struggles, anger and obsession patterns, and challenges linked to mood disorders and ADHD.

She invites clients to set the pace and shape the plan. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with practical tools and space to talk through painful experiences. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule a session according to current availability.

How Amie's Approaches Work Online

Amie draws from client-centered therapy to begin by listening closely and following each person's lead. This approach focuses on understanding what matters to the client and building goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process can include short, practical skills practice or deeper emotional reflection depending on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when problems arise. Some people find remote sessions let them use tools learned in therapy in their everyday settings, and others appreciate being able to schedule appointments around work or caregiver duties. Licensed professionals will work with each person to shape session length and focus so therapy fits real life.
