Alesia Dunlap, LPC

Alesia Dunlap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship and parenting stresses, mood difficulties, addiction concerns, and problems with communication and intimacy. Sessions are practical and focused on the problems people bring from home and daily life.

She began her career in a different field, earning an industrial engineering degree and raising a family before moving into counseling. She completed an MA in Marriage and Family Counseling from Lancaster Bible College and transitioned into clinical work. That background shapes a straightforward, problem-solving style.

Alesia helps people address issues such as pornography and sexual addiction, drug and alcohol problems, and the effects of past sexual abuse when those are part of current relationship struggles. She has also worked with teenage boys in a residential rehabilitation setting, and with adults in general practice dealing with parenting challenges, mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns.

Her day-to-day approach uses solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify practical changes. She also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to support motivation and decision-making. EMDR and narrative elements may be brought in when appropriate to process past events that affect present behavior.

Sessions emphasize building useful thoughts and behaviors rather than focusing only on the past. She works with each person to turn lessons learned into concrete, manageable steps. To begin, follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
