Amanda Omar , LCSW

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship pain, and struggles with self-esteem. Her work also addresses addictions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the strain of parenting or family conflict.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with crisis or overwhelming stress.

Amanda draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape short-term goals and homework people can try between sessions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies when emotional regulation and intense reactions are central concerns. The Gottman Method and emotionally-focused techniques inform her work around relationship and communication problems.

Her background includes a decade of work with complex trauma, co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and people affected by high-conflict family systems. Amanda explains things plainly and helps clients build step-by-step plans for change. She aims to balance honest feedback with practical tools.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats so people can choose what works best for their life.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda uses client-centered work to make sessions feel personal and focused on each person’s needs. That approach means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s priorities, and adapts sessions so they are practical and relevant for day-to-day life.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thought and behavior patterns and teaches clear tools to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives short-term exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Amanda integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or self-destructive patterns come up, teaching techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and communication styles. Video works well when visual cues matter. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try techniques in real time.
