About Amy

Dr. Amy Wagner offers support to individuals and families facing stressful life transitions, parenting challenges, and relationship strain.

Background and approach

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) based in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. Her work often involves helping parents and caregivers of children with intellectual, emotional, or behavioral needs, as well as adults managing chronic stress, burnout, or the aftermath of trauma.

Her style combines practical problem-solving with empathic listening, creating a collaborative atmosphere where clients set clear, achievable goals. Dr.

Wagner draws on evidence-based tools, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to build strategies that fit each person’s circumstances. She also integrates client-centered and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Clients can expect a focus on realistic coping skills, clearer communication, and step-by-step plans for navigating change. Whether addressing caregiving stress, adoption or foster care concerns, chronic illness, or day-to-day overwhelm, she emphasizes respect, compassion, and measurable progress.

Approaches That Guide Online Care and Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies that reduce stress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and overwhelming stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy and validation to help clarify goals and build self-directed change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, actionable steps to move toward specific outcomes, which can be especially useful when clients want targeted, time-limited progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Wagner works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative exploration helps ensure that any plan of work feels meaningful and realistic for the person seeking support.

Online therapy with her uses a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving responsibilities, work, or mobility limitations while maintaining continuity of care, and they allow clients to use the communication style that feels most comfortable to them.
