Amanda Clavell, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
IL
I decided to become a therapist because I love helping people overcome challenges and become who they are meant to be. I believe change is possible for everyone, and have seen just how resilient people truly are. One of the most wonderful parts about being a therapist is sitting with a person who feels so broken, holding that pain with them, and creating a space for healing. I know that trust, empathy, understanding, and love are key components of the therapeutic relationship, and I work hard to cultivate these in session.

Getting to know Amanda Clavell

I decided to become a therapist because I love helping people overcome challenges and become who they are meant to be. I believe change is possible for everyone, and have seen just how resilient people truly are. One of the most wonderful parts about being a therapist is sitting with a person who feels so broken, holding that pain with them, and creating a space for healing. I know that trust, empathy, understanding, and love are key components of the therapeutic relationship, and I work hard to cultivate these in session.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I began my graduate internship in 2019 as a therapist at an outpatient treatment center, supporting clients through a wide range of complex traumas. Together, we work from the ground up to understand diagnoses, develop coping skills, and accomplish meaningful goals. Since graduating in 2021, I have worked in private practice, primarily assisting clients struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, spirituality, and many other concerns. With my diverse background, I take a personalized approach to therapy, tailoring each session to fit the unique needs of my clients rather than relying on a one size fits all method. I draw from a range of evidence based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to provide the most effective and individualized support. Clients often tell me they appreciate working with me for my compassion, expertise, insights, strong memory, and ability to be both supportive and honest, even blunt when necessary. I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate faith transitions. Finding the right therapist can be challenging, as no clinician should push someone toward or away from their faith. I prioritize creating a safe space where my clients feel comfortable and empowered in their decisions as we navigate the complexities of faith transitions together. Clients have valued my guidance in managing complex conversations with family while defining their own beliefs. Something that surprised me in my career is how much I value working with couples recovering from infidelity. I credit this to my ability to truly see people, identify the root of an issue, and help rebuild relationships that once felt irreparable. It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples restore their connection into something stronger than they ever thought possible.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Each session usually begins with a brief check-in: how you’ve been feeling, what’s been going on since we last met, and anything that’s top of mind. I’ll also ask how any homework or strategies we discussed went, and whether they were helpful. From there, we’ll dive into whatever feels most important that day. Ideally, you’ll be doing most of the talking while I listen, ask questions, and help guide the conversation. My role is to support you, help you explore patterns or challenges, and work toward the goals we’ve set together. Every session can look a little different, depending on your needs. I often give homework because real change happens between sessions. I know life can be busy, so homework will look different week to week, and I always tailor it to what works for you. Sometimes it’s practicing a mantra or self affirmation, other times it might be writing a letter or having a conversation we’ve practiced in session. Follow through outside of therapy can be a powerful part of your growth.
