Amanda Omar

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, substance use, or chronic mental health struggles. Amanda approaches work with clear respect and a direct, compassionate manner. Her sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep people stuck and developing practical tools to change them. She uses a collaborative style where the client’s goals guide the plan. Amanda emphasizes building emotional regulation skills and steps clients can try between meetings. Amanda draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor care. She blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused ideas and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship concerns arise. Her background includes a decade supporting people with complex trauma, co-occurring disorders, and long-term mood conditions. She has particular experience helping those affected by high-conflict family systems, generational trauma, and the challenges of caregiving or chronic illness. Amanda frames therapy as a partnership. She helps people make practical plans, practice new responses to old problems, and track small changes over time. If someone is exhausted by constant reactivity or wants a steadier way of living, she works toward clearer, manageable steps they can take.

How these approaches shape online work

Amanda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities, helping people feel heard and understood as they decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when intense emotions or self-destructive patterns are present. DBT skills target emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing anger and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
