About Amie

Amie Allanson-Dundon is a licensed professional counselor who has practiced since 1995. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University and maintains LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She emphasizes practical, person-centered care and starts by meeting people where they are.

Amie blends different counseling methods to match each person's needs. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused ideas, and Jungian perspectives when appropriate. Her approach is flexible and focused on what will help an individual move forward.

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 addresses caregiver stress, blended family challenges, infidelity, jealousy, and issues connected to first responders and veterans. Practical problems like sleep, eating, parenting strain, career transitions, and coping with life changes are part of her caseload as well.

Amie writes treatment plans that are tailored to each person. She uses techniques such as motivational interviewing, narrative approaches to trauma, and psychodynamic ideas depending on needs. Sessions focus on helping people set and reach realistic goals while honoring their values and choices.

People who prefer a direct, respectful counselor who adapts methods to fit them tend to do well with her style. Her long experience means she can offer steady support through complex or ongoing challenges.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful working relationship to help people move toward their goals. This approach is about understanding each person's perspective and adapting the work to their pace and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try different methods to see what fits with a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape clear, realistic goals and a plan to reach them.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to work on issues like anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, jealousy, and coping with life changes in ways that fit day-to-day life.
