About Alesia
Alesia Dunlap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people work through relationship struggles, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can take now to feel better and regain control. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, meant to fit into everyday life.
She brings more than 20 years of clinical experience. Early in her career she worked in general practice addressing mood, communication, and family issues. She has also counseled adults dealing with sexual and pornography addiction and helped teenage boys in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation setting.
Alesia originally trained as an industrial engineer at Georgia Tech and later earned an MA in Marriage and Family Counseling from Lancaster Bible College. That combination gives her a practical, problem-solving approach to therapy. She often helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable steps.
In sessions she uses client-centered techniques alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing. She also draws on solution-focused and narrative ideas when clients want to change patterns and rebuild routines. For trauma-related concerns she includes approaches that address painful memories and their emotional impact.
Alesia encourages clients to use what they already know about themselves and to try new behaviors between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, better decision making, and healthier relationships. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alesia uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, listening for the parts of life a client wants to change and following their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change relationship patterns. She also employs elements of EMDR when addressing trauma to help process difficult memories and reduce their emotional hold.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often combine talk-based work with practical exercises between sessions so clients can practice new skills in daily life.
