About Amy
Amy Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and the ripple effects of trauma and grief. She also works with those facing addiction, parenting stress, low self-esteem, codependency, and communication problems.
Amy uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to identify what is most pressing. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior, and to try practical steps that can change day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear skills, short-term goals, and real-life practice rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes work in private practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health in Tennessee. She holds two master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands.
Amy keeps the conversation direct and respectful. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own experience, and she helps them test small changes that lead to calmer responses and better relationships. Many people come to her worried about losing their temper, building resentment, or living with a loved one who struggles with anger.
Outside of work she lives in Tennessee with a blended family and three dogs. She enjoys hiking, travel, reading, movies, and trying new foods.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions, so clients can test new responses and see what changes.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. This approach looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward calmer interactions and better communication with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use remote meetings to keep momentum between in-person visits and to practice real-life skills in the moments they arise.
