About Billie

Billie Jo Wagner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, life changes, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career problems, depression, and coaching. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family topics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and related challenges.

Her approach centers on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions review what is most pressing and look for small changes that fit day-to-day life. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, and on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to change unhelpful thinking and manage emotions.

Billie Jo uses dialectical behavior ideas when people need better emotion regulation and coping skills. She also brings existential thinking for people wrestling with meaning, direction, or major life transitions. Sessions often include skill practice, straightforward talk, and reviewing what worked between meetings.

People can expect direct, down-to-earth discussion about problems like guilt, shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, and caregiver burnout. The focus is on concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan.

All work is conducted in English and follows Florida practice standards. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and practical next steps.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions begin with the client’s current priorities and the therapist guides practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. Online sessions can teach simple CBT techniques like identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skill-based practices can be taught step by step and practiced during sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Billie Jo will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the current online session options before you book, as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reduce travel time. Online meetings also make it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and then review what happened with the therapist. If you want to start, complete the matching questionnaire to clarify practical arrangements and goals.
