About Amy

Amy Wallins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) practicing in Georgia who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

With 16 years of professional experience, she draws on a background that includes hospice care and work with people living with HIV/AIDS to address grief, loss, stress, and anxiety. Her approach emphasizes helping clients develop actionable tools to manage symptoms and navigate life transitions.

She brings a warm, engaging, and interactive style to therapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she uses to support clients in making meaningful changes, while mindfulness and narrative techniques help explore personal stories and coping patterns.

Amy focuses on areas including depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue, and she also attends to related issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and end-of-life concerns. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and goals are explored collaboratively.

Amy frames therapy as a partnership aimed at building insight, resilience, and practical coping skills to improve daily functioning and quality of life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers concrete strategies and homework-like practices that translate well to remote sessions and help clients build everyday coping skills.

Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can ease rumination and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change by exploring values and ambivalence in a respectful way. These approaches complement one another and can be combined to match the client’s needs.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain regular contact, follow through with skill practice, and adapt care as needs change.
