About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience. She practices from Pennsylvania and brings a steady, practical approach to sessions. Her style is warm and person-centered, focused on meeting people where they are and helping them take the next step.
Amie uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive and emotional approaches. That means sessions often include clear skills, guided reflection, and attention to feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
She has worked with many different concerns over nearly three decades. Common topics include stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, mood disorders, and ADHD. Amie also addresses blended family challenges, caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood issues, and first responder or veteran-related concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, learn coping skills, and try new ways of relating or responding. Treatment plans are shaped around each person's goals and pace.
Amie offers conversations that balance evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on the person's own strengths. She encourages small, manageable steps and recognizes the real effort it takes to change. If someone wants clear tools and steady support while facing life changes, she frames the work to fit that need.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as they describe their struggles and goals. It helps people who need a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and aid in coping with cravings or obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses, useful for intense emotions and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as needs change. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for longer work that benefits from face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler way to check in, and messaging or chat can support brief check-ins or homework between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quieter or lower-bandwidth needs, and different ways to receive support.
