About Amanda

Amanda Omar is an Indiana-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and challenges like addiction and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She draws on a trauma-informed framework and combines practical skill-building with collaborative exploration to address relationship, family, parenting, career, and mood-related concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Her work also engages with issues like abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and patterns of codependency.

Her style blends structured intervention and empathic listening, emphasizing both insight and action. Amanda uses a range of evidence-informed methods to teach emotion regulation, improve communication, and develop coping strategies for persistent or complex problems.

Sessions are focused on creating a tailored plan that reflects each person’s goals and readiness for change while attending to the ways past trauma and systemic factors shape current difficulties.

Integrating approaches online for practical change

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of parts and a core Self; therapy helps people relate to and unburden those parts to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore their own goals and find internal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Deciding which method fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda will collaborate with each person to tailor approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines insight-oriented work with skills-based strategies so treatment adapts as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in therapy while balancing life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and choose the format that feels most accessible for each person.
