Alesia Dunlap is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Pennsylvania who brings 17 years of experience to her clinical work. She works with adults and families on addictions, relationship struggles, family conflicts, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, and coping with life changes.
Her clinical background includes general practice addressing relationship, mood, parenting, and communication difficulties, as well as focused work with adults facing sexual addiction, pornography addiction, and relationship problems that have roots in sexual abuse. She has also provided counseling to teenage boys in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation setting.
Alesia did not begin her career in counseling. She earned an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech, married another engineer, worked briefly, and raised her children. As her children were leaving home, she decided to pursue a new professional path and completed a master of arts in Marriage and Family Counseling at Lancaster Bible College.
Alesia uses an approach that emphasizes practical, solution-focused work informed by cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles. She believes life experience teaches valuable lessons and considers it a privilege to help clients turn those lessons into effective, functional thoughts and behaviors.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person counseling. It can offer an accessible way to address these issues without sacrificing the quality of care.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level - whether that is a video session, a phone call, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate regular therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and clients may change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy is a practical, effective option to consider.
