Amanda Omar

Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and substance use. Her style is direct but compassionate and aimed at finding practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

Her practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and Trauma-Focused Therapy principles. Amanda blends client-centered conversations with structured skill work. Sessions often involve noticing patterns, practicing emotional regulation, and setting small goals that fit real life.

She has worked with people facing complex mental health concerns and systemic challenges. This includes persistent mood conditions, bipolar disorder, and people affected by high-conflict family situations or generational trauma. Amanda also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and issues related to adoption and abandonment.

Amanda uses a mix of methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and motivational interviewing to shape a plan that matches each person. The work can include skills practice, processing difficult memories, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. She emphasizes honest conversation and practical action. To begin, visitors are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Trauma-Focused and Skills-Based Approaches Work Online

Amanda draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process overwhelming memories and reduce trauma-related distress. That work typically involves pacing memories, developing safety and grounding skills, and building a plan to respond differently to triggers.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's priorities and experience. This approach means sessions are shaped by what feels most relevant to the client rather than a rigid script. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda treats finding a good fit as collaborative - she will ask about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. The aim is practical progress that matches your needs and preferences.
