About Amy
Dr. Amy Wagner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She works with parents and caregivers as well as adults feeling overwhelmed by family conflict, chronic stress, or caregiving demands.
Her tone is practical and compassionate, and she aims for clear, usable steps in therapy. She draws on common-sense, evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while keeping the work grounded in each person's reality.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small changes that add up to relief. Goals are set together so the steps feel doable between appointments. Many clients come for help with parenting and adoption or foster care concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, or traumatic brain injury.
Others seek support for chronic illness, chronic pain, or caregiver stress. The practice also addresses relationship strain, self-esteem, career questions, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Work in therapy tends to be collaborative and solution-oriented.
Dr. Wagner uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable targets. She pairs those with CBT tools to shift patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
With 15 years of experience, Dr. Wagner balances clinical knowledge with a practical, down-to-earth style. She offers sessions from Georgia and accepts international clients in English, using formats that fit a busy life.
Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Dr. Wagner uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. This approach means sessions begin with listening and respect, and priorities come from the client rather than a preset agenda. It helps when someone needs a calm place to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and moods connect. It includes practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve coping with stress, chronic pain, or caregiving demands. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and practical steps you can try between sessions to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video lets people work face to face from different places, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter conversations. These options give flexibility for scheduling, ongoing check-ins, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
