About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with ten years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.
Background and approach
Amanda also supports those facing burnout, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and problems with attention or mood. Her approach is practical and collaborative.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and setting small, doable goals. She aims for clear tools people can use between sessions and straightforward conversations in the room.
Amanda draws on a mix of approaches, including the Gottman Method for relationship work, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thinking and behavior, and client-centered practices that prioritize the individual's goals. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and manage intense emotions.
She has worked with adults dealing with complex trauma, co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns, chronic stress, and the effects of high-conflict family systems. Her background includes supporting people affected by generational trauma and those navigating justice-system involvement.
Amanda describes her style as candid but compassionate. She helps people pair insight with action so change feels achievable.
Meetings are focused on what matters to the person in front of her, with plans adjusted as needs evolve.
Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Amanda commonly uses the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical exercises that help people reduce conflict and rebuild connection. Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening deeply and guiding the process at the client's pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then try methods that match those priorities. This collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of exercises that involve observing interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or continuing skills practice between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible, allowing people to fit care into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum while working toward their goals.
