About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 27 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel more stable and cope with overwhelming feelings. Amie aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan that matches their needs and goals.
She uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions start with the person’s experience and priorities. Cognitive behavioral strategies are often included to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Amie works
Dialectical behavior methods can be used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Amie also draws on emotion-focused and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s story. That can mean looking at relationship patterns, inner life, and deeper sources of meaning.
She adapts her approach based on what each person needs rather than following a single method. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with parenting strain, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges linked to work and career.
Sessions may address obsessive or compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, mood disorders, and issues tied to military or first responder experiences. Amie is comfortable supporting people dealing with infertility, divorce and separation, jealousy and infidelity, and multicultural concerns. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button.

How Amie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person’s goals and current experience, giving sessions a practical and respectful tone that works well online. It helps shape what is discussed first and what skills to prioritize. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to identify thinking patterns and change behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems and adapts easily to video or text-based work.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds taught skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be demonstrated in session and practiced between meetings, which makes DBT a useful option for people needing concrete tools they can use right away. Amie will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on goals, symptoms, and personal style rather than prescribing one method up front.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is often used for in-depth work and skill teaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity across changes in schedule or location.
