About Amy
Dr. Amy Wagner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps parents and caregivers manage hard seasons. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and improve daily life.
Many clients come seeking help with parenting challenges, family tensions, and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people facing anxiety, trauma, changes at work, or low self-worth. Dr.
Wagner works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness, intellectual disability, and traumatic brain injury.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and small, doable steps. Sessions are meant to feel like a conversation that leads to real changes at home and work.
Dr. Wagner draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Solution-Focused methods. That means she uses practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, while also prioritizing each person’s values and strengths.
She has 15 years of experience working with adults and caregivers in Georgia. She also works with international clients in English. People who choose her can expect down-to-earth guidance aimed at manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify what matters most so they can move forward. It is useful for parents and caregivers seeking understanding and steady support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It teaches practical tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help manage anxiety, stress, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable changes and builds on existing strengths to create quick, forward-moving steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That shared planning helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are a good choice when less bandwidth is available, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options offer flexibility so parents and caregivers can get help around work, medical appointments, or caregiving duties.
