Amanda Omar, LCSW

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with ten years of practice supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She helps people dealing with relationship and family strain, parenting pressures, career stress, and burnout from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Amanda talks plainly and offers steady guidance for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Her work blends practical skills with empathy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and emotion-focused approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Amanda also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a concern.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Amanda helps clients set clear, achievable steps and practices to try between meetings. She values straightforward feedback and builds plans that fit everyday life rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes supporting people with complex trauma, substance use, persistent mood or thought disorders, and those affected by high-conflict family systems or generational trauma. That experience shapes a trauma-informed stance and an openness to work through long-standing patterns and crises.

Amanda offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works in English and practices from Indiana as an LCSW.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try concrete changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding; the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods. Together they set a plan that includes specific skills practice and regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual communication helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or for people who prefer writing. These formats support ongoing skill practice and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across changing schedules.
