About Amy

Amy Wallins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience practicing in Georgia. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and questions about sexuality and identity. Amy aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly about difficult feelings.

She uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people take practical steps forward. Amy draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness practices to build moments of calm. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want help finding motivation for change. Her background includes many years working in hospice and with people living with HIV and AIDS, which has shaped her understanding of grief, loss, and caregiving stress.

That experience also informs work with issues around aging, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She brings patience and real-world knowledge to conversations about illness and caregiving. Amy often helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or high-stress jobs.

She also supports those struggling with body image, self-esteem, isolation, and career transitions. Sessions focus on manageable goals and clearer next steps. Her approach is interactive and practical.

Amy invites clients to test small changes, notice what works, and adjust as needed. She encourages people to build on strengths while addressing shame, guilt, or overwhelming loss. Therapy is paced to each person’s needs and priorities.

Online session options

How Narrative, CBT, and Mindfulness work online

Amy blends Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches to help people in different ways. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problematic narratives from who they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to create practical change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, needs, and preferences and suggest ways to test methods that might help. Sessions often mix approaches so clients can see what fits and adjust priorities together over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when typing is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping momentum between visits.
