About Amy

Dr. Amy Wagner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 15 years of experience helping people facing stress, parenting pressures, relationship strain, and recovery from trauma. She also supports those managing career changes, self-esteem concerns, and the practical demands of caregiving.

She often works with parents and caregivers of children who have intellectual, emotional, or behavioral challenges, and with adults who feel overwhelmed or stuck by life transitions. Her sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies rather than abstract theory. She uses short-term coaching and therapeutic conversations to address pressing problems.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means listening to what matters most to the client, identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings.

Dr. Wagner’s work includes attention to adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, intellectual disability, and traumatic brain injury. She helps people break down large problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.

Practical matters are part of the process. Clients set goals together with Dr. Wagner and try strategies that fit their routines. She encourages straightforward plans and measurable steps so people can see what is changing and adjust as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions start with the client’s priorities and the therapist helps clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-oriented. It emphasizes small, concrete changes and tracking what works between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or offering alternatives when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help clients practice skills, problem-solve, and track measurable changes over time.
