About Amy
Amy Vann is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, anger, family problems, and parenting concerns. Her work also includes support for addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Amy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are focused and action-oriented, with steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes private practice, work in a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health services in Tennessee. She holds two master’s degrees from the University of the Cumberlands: Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling. Those experiences shape how she supports people facing relationship strain and substance concerns.
Amy describes herself as someone who listens for strengths and helps people build on them. She keeps the conversation practical and direct, aiming to break problems down into manageable pieces. That approach is meant to help parents and adults who are juggling home pressures and relationship stress.
Outside work she has family ties to East Tennessee and time living in Kentucky and Colorado. She balances professional life with roles as wife, stepmom, grandmother, and dog owner, and enjoys hiking, travel, and reading.
How sessions work
How CBT and Solution-Focused work for everyday life online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood. It focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior, which can reduce worry and improve daily functioning for stress, anxiety, and depression.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, reachable goals. It highlights what is already working and builds simple steps toward clearer communication and better routines. That approach is often useful for parenting concerns, relationship issues, and short-term problem solving.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will pick methods that fit the situation. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques between sessions in real life and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
