Welcome! I'm Amanda Pease, a unique provider offering dual expertise as both a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois and Iowa. With over six years of experience, I blend behavioral science with therapeutic support to offer comprehensive care tailored to each client's needs.
My diverse background spans crisis counseling, school-based social work, and behavioral analysis, allowing me to provide evidence-based solutions for various challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and motivation. My behavioral expertise is particularly valuable in developing practical strategies for lasting change.
Using both behavioral principles and therapeutic techniques, I create individualized treatment plans that address immediate concerns while building long-term skills. Whether you're seeking support for behavioral challenges, mental health concerns, or both, my integrated approach offers unique insights and effective solutions.
Taking the first step to begin therapy shows incredible courage, and I'm here to provide compassionate, respectful support in a judgment-free environment. I'm honored to be part of your journey toward positive change.

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.
