About Amie

Amie Allanson-Dundon is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Relations from Villanova University. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to help them feel better day to day.

Amie draws on a blend of approaches to shape each session. She works in a client-centered way, listening first and building goals with the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical skills when they fit the situation, and brings elements of emotionally-focused and Jungian approaches as needed.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people facing relationship strain, grief, career challenges, ADHD, and complex mood concerns.

Amie pays attention to practical problems such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, fertility and fatherhood issues, and the stresses of first responder or veteran life. She helps people who struggle with obsessional thoughts, panic attacks, jealousy, and control issues.

When someone starts, Amie creates an individualized plan. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping strategies, and checking what is or isn't helping. She respects each person’s goals and pace while encouraging steady progress.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. It helps people who need a compassionate space to talk and to make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them; it can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy routine, such as fitting a therapy check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice coping skills between meetings and to bring real-life problems into discussion. Licensed professionals will help match session length and frequency to what fits daily life.
