About Amy
Amy Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, family problems, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. Amy names communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, phobias, parenting strain, and coping with life changes among her focus areas.
Amy uses straightforward, practical conversations. She listens to the facts of what is happening and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often involve learning new ways to notice thoughts and behaviors and trying small changes between meetings.
Her training includes two master’s degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling. Her work history includes private practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health work in Tennessee. Those settings shaped her approach to problem solving and relapse prevention.
Amy emphasizes collaborative work. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build skills they can use day to day. That might mean practicing boundary-setting strategies, changing patterns of people-pleasing, or building coping tools for anxiety and anger.
Outside of clinical work she lives in Tennessee and values family life. Her background as a wife, stepmom, and grandmother informs how she thinks about parenting and family stressors. She also enjoys hiking, travel, reading, movies, and time with her dogs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how you feel. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and phobias because it gives concrete skills to practice.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying small, realistic changes and building on what already works. This approach can help with communication problems, relationship patterns, and setting boundaries one step at a time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and what to adjust so sessions stay practical and focused.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. Ask about current online session options when you schedule. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by cutting travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing sessions during breaks from work and caregiving.
