About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience in Indiana. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or the strain of caregiving. Her work often focuses on problems like relationship conflict, addiction, low self-esteem, and challenges at work or home.
She uses an approach that balances listening with practical skill building. Sessions are collaborative and structured so people leave with tools they can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Amanda emphasizes emotional regulation, clearer communication, and steps that match each person's goals. Her background includes extensive experience with complex trauma, co-occurring mental health and substance concerns, and persistent mood conditions. She has supported people affected by high-conflict family situations, generational trauma, and chronic stress.
That experience informs a trauma-aware practice that pays attention to safety and pacing. In sessions she blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral strategies and DBT skills. She also draws on emotionally-focused techniques and relationship tools from the Gottman Method when appropriate.
The aim is to translate insight into small, manageable changes that build stability over time. Amanda offers a direct but compassionate style. She helps people set realistic goals and tracks progress together.
For those who want practical coping skills and clearer relationships, she focuses on what can be changed now and how to do that step by step.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and trauma work
Amanda often uses client-centered approaches that focus on understanding each person's experience and priorities. This method means sessions start with what matters most to the client and shape goals around their values and strengths.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete techniques for managing anxious thoughts, mood shifts, and unhelpful behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her toolkit too, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for people feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amanda works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person's needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans to make sure techniques are useful in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people work face to face; phone sessions use less bandwidth; chat or messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
