About Amanda

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with ten years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of living with chronic illness. Her work also supports those dealing with relationship and family strain, parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, and bipolar mood challenges.

Amanda uses straightforward, collaborative care. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and setting concrete goals. She blends client-centered conversation with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approaches.

Her background includes long-term work with people affected by complex trauma, justice-system involvement, and high-conflict family situations. That experience shapes a practice that aims to be direct while maintaining respect for each person’s history and strengths.

In sessions Amanda helps people develop skills for managing mood swings, reducing anxiety, and coping with persistent stress. She also supports those navigating addiction recovery and the ongoing challenges of chronic pain, illness, or disability. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit everyday life.

Amanda invites a frank, steady approach for people who are tired of just surviving. She works with each person to set a plan and track progress. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amanda draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person find their own solutions, and it can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers specific techniques for anxiety, depression, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amanda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That may mean combining listening-focused work with concrete behavioral tools and homework assignments.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make scheduling easier, let people fit a check-in around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow consistent follow-up for ongoing issues like chronic pain or mood disorders. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in everyday life rather than on a single technique.
