Alesia Dunlap, LPC

Alesia Dunlap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, mood concerns, parenting stress, communication problems, and issues tied to addiction and past sexual abuse. Her practice also covers anxiety, depression, intimacy challenges, and family of origin issues.

She began her career outside counseling, holding an industrial engineering degree from Georgia Tech and raising a family. Later she earned an MA in Marriage and Family Counseling from Lancaster Bible College and shifted into clinical work. That background informs a practical, problem-focused style in sessions.

In practice she has worked in general counseling settings and in programs focused on sexual addiction and pornography addiction. She has also provided counseling to teenage boys in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. These experiences shape how she approaches relationship and addiction concerns today.

Her stated approach uses solution-focused methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered work, EMDR, and narrative therapy. In-session work often emphasizes changing unhelpful thoughts and building small, repeatable actions that fit daily life.

Clients can expect straightforward discussion about patterns that began in childhood and still affect current behavior. Sessions aim to clarify immediate goals, reduce behaviors that cause harm, and develop practical steps for better communication and decision making.
