About Amy
Amy Wallins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT issues. Her work also covers career strain, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
She brings long experience in hospice care and supporting people facing serious illness, end-of-life matters, and caregiver strain. That background informs practical guidance for grief, loss, and chronic illness conversations. She also has experience working with people affected by HIV/AIDS and the particular pressures that can accompany that diagnosis.
Amy uses a mix of evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel stuck. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas can help unpack life stories and recurring relationship patterns.
Sessions are interactive and focused on concrete steps. Amy aims to help people build coping skills, manage stress, and address relationship and intimacy questions. She offers straightforward strategies for self-esteem, sexual health concerns, and communication problems.
Her practice also addresses aging and geriatric issues, body image, cancer-related stress, chronic pain and disability, first responder issues, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. People considering work on these topics are encouraged to review session options and the matching process before scheduling.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify goals and move past ambivalence when they want to change behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.
Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, confirm that option during the matching step so sessions fit your routine.
