About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, substance use, and problems with self-esteem and relationships.
Amanda works with adults who have complex needs, including co-occurring disorders and persistent mental illness. She has experience supporting people affected by high-conflict family systems, generational trauma, chronic stress, and involvement with the justice system.
Her style is collaborative and structured. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and linking insight with concrete action. She uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques to address symptoms and everyday problems.
Amanda places attention on practical skills for coping with intense emotions, managing cravings, and handling relationship conflict. She also helps people address issues tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and the challenges of aging or chronic illness.
Over time she works with clients to develop step-by-step plans that break big problems into manageable tasks. Progress often includes trying new behaviors between sessions and checking what helps in real life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
How Amanda uses practical approaches in remote sessions
Amanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT breaks worries and behaviors into specific parts so clients can try small experiments and track what changes. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills for intense emotions and urges; DBT provides structured tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with each client and recommend which methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as needs shift during treatment.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by allowing shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice real-world skills between meetings and to review progress in the client’s actual routines.
