About Amie
Amie Allanson-Dundon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and sleep or eating concerns. She also supports those navigating grief, career changes, ADHD, and caregiver or blended family stress.
She trained in counseling and human relations and draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and testing new ways of responding. Amie describes her work as person-centered, so the client’s goals guide the pace and direction.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, substance use concerns, and co-occurring disorders. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Jungian ideas, and client-centered methods when they fit a person’s needs. Motivational interviewing and narrative trauma techniques are part of her toolkit depending on the situation.
In sessions she typically clarifies what matters most, sets small goals, and practices skills that translate to daily life. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try alternatives that feel doable. Progress is tracked against the client’s stated aims rather than a fixed agenda.
People who prefer structured, practical work with room for personal exploration often find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options to make sure they match your practical needs.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Amie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy depending on the problem and the person. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Client-centered work emphasizes the client’s priorities and pacing, offering space to set goals and make decisions. DBT adds specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is observed. That means sessions may look different over time - more skill practice at times, more exploration at others - based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so check-ins are easier to schedule. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list them. Therapists and licensed professionals can help arrange a format that suits your schedule, whether you need a shorter check-in or a longer weekly session.
