Amy Wallins, LCSW, CSW

Amy Wallins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She brings 16 years of experience supporting people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Amy focuses on practical, talk-and-action sessions that help people cope with life changes and build clearer day-to-day routines.

She has extensive background in hospice care and has worked with people affected by HIV/AIDS, which shaped her understanding of grief and end-of-life issues. That experience informs how she supports clients through loss and complicated emotions. Amy also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging-related concerns.

Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking and change unhelpful habits. She blends mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas to match each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and collaborative, focused on small steps that add up over time.

Her style is warm and interactive. She works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken without judgment. Amy emphasizes respect, compassion, and helping clients find their own strengths and choices.

People often come to her for help with self-esteem, body image, career stress, loneliness, or compassion fatigue. She supports those navigating sexuality and LGBT-related concerns, as well as those coping with serious illness and end-of-life decisions.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How Amy’s approaches work online

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward goals in a supportive way.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. The process is collaborative and focused on what works in daily life.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment routines while still working with a licensed professional.
