About Amanda
Amanda Omar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, and parenting challenges. Her tone is direct and compassionate to make overwhelmed parents feel heard and understood.
She uses practical, collaborative methods in sessions to identify recurring patterns and build skills that fit daily life. Amanda emphasizes emotional regulation, clear communication, and steady routines to reduce conflict at home and improve coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are structured but flexible so goals can change as needs shift. Amanda draws from Client-Centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her and what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when strong emotions make it hard to respond rather than react. Many parents seek her help for blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, or repeating family patterns. She works with people managing chronic illness, grief, and high-conflict relationships as well.
The work can include skill-building, problem solving, and coaching around parenting roles. Amanda aims to make therapy practical and achievable. She helps clients translate insights into small, realistic changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people address parenting stress, anxiety, and trauma-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns.She may also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when intense emotions interfere with daily life. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful during heated family moments or when feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Amanda will talk with you about your goals and try different strategies to see what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting needs, stress management, or coping with trauma.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps preserve visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible for busy parents and people with varied daily demands.
