Hello! My name is Amanda! I have a Bachelor’s in Communication with emphasis on Interpersonal Communication. I have a Master’s in Counseling and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I also have my Illinois and Missouri School Counseling License. I have 10 years’ experience in the field.
I have worked as a counselor with children and adults who had Illinois DCFS involvement. In Missouri, I worked as an Intensive In-Home Specialist and supervisor working with families referred for services to help stabilize the family and prevent coming into state care. I have also worked as a Clinical and Case Management Supervisor for a residential program serving Illinois youth in care who are unable to maintain in a home setting due to behaviors or trauma and youth in the Juvenile Justice Center looking to transition back into the community.
As you can see, I have a wide range of experience in working with youth, adults and families. I really enjoy working with others on developing their skills, support systems and helping them through many difficult situations. I use a wide range of techniques and have also emphasized a Dialectical Behavior Therapy approach with clients. I have experience in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, self-harm / injurious behaviors, trauma / abuse, parental conflict, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, etc.
I feel a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship is the foundation to achieve your therapeutic goals. You know yourself best and I am available to help guide you through this time of need. I would love to assist you with any counseling needs that you have.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
