About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with ten years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Amanda also supports those coping with attention challenges, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Her style aims to be direct and respectful while staying practical and real.
Her work is collaborative and structured. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning emotion regulation skills, and setting small goals that add up. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based therapies to turn insight into action. Conversations are candid but empathetic, with attention to safety and gradual progress.
Amanda has experience with complex trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use and mood disorders. She has supported people affected by high-conflict family situations, generational trauma, and those who have had involvement with the justice system. That background informs how she plans care and keeps sessions focused on practical steps.
Her clinical toolbox includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. These methods guide how she approaches emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and behavioral change.
People who meet with Amanda typically work on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, managing strong emotions, and reducing reactive behaviors. She encourages active participation and homework between sessions to support steady progress.
How Amanda’s Methods Translate to Online Work
Amanda draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when planning care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration to help people feel understood and lead sessions at their own pace. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress, which can be useful for self-harm urges, mood swings, or chronic emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor methods to goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which skills or therapies to emphasize as treatment progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into session discussions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to online conversations so that therapy remains practical and action-oriented.
