About Amanda

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues such as compassion fatigue and addictions.

Background and approach

She works with concerns across relationships, family dynamics, parenting, anger, career-related stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related areas like abandonment, attachment struggles, and body image. Her practice also addresses complex situations including chronic illness, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and blended family challenges.

Her style blends practical skill-building with empathic listening to create a collaborative, structured therapy process. Amanda draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with DBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Gottman-informed strategies to help clients identify patterns, learn emotional regulation skills, and take steps toward clearer goals.

As an LCSW she emphasizes trauma-informed care and motivational methods to support readiness for change. Sessions focus on pairing insight with actionable change so people can move from surviving to functioning with greater stability and confidence.

Amanda offers a candid but compassionate environment where clients and therapist work together to tailor a plan aimed at their specific needs and life circumstances.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online

Amanda frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts. When relationships are a central concern, elements of Emotionally-Focused work and Gottman-informed strategies can be integrated to improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda treats modality selection as a collaborative decision. She will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods over time so interventions match what’s most helpful in practice.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are impractical, while supporting consistent skill practice and check-ins between sessions.
