About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She works with adults on problems like low self-esteem, parenting strain, relationship issues, career stress, bipolar disorder, and attention challenges. Amanda aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people who feel overwhelmed.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning coping skills, practicing new ways to handle emotions, and planning small changes that build momentum. Amanda uses approaches that focus on emotions, thinking patterns, and relationship skills. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method to match tools to each person’s needs.
She combines talk, skill practice, and problem-solving rather than relying on one single method. Her background as an LCSW in Indiana informs how she understands the effects of trauma, stress, and systemic challenges on everyday life. Amanda has worked across varied settings and brings a practical perspective to therapy.
She emphasizes safety, steady progress, and building skills that fit daily routines. Therapy with Amanda moves at a realistic pace. She helps people name their priorities, try manageable changes, and track what works.
The focus is on clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and better ways to cope with hard moments.
Approaches that guide online work and real-life change
Amanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to shift mood and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation and coping skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive behavior.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the process grounded in each person’s priorities. That approach centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and follows their pace while offering support and reflection. Amanda will work with each person to decide which methods fit best, adjusting the plan as goals and needs evolve in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and skill coaching, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter updates or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use tools in the moments they are needed.
