About Amy

Amy Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, anger, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues.

Background and approach

She draws on a background that includes work in independent practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health in Tennessee, bringing practical experience with a range of presenting problems including codependency, communication difficulties, phobias, and substance-related concerns.

Her training includes two master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky. Amy frames therapy around clients' strengths and lived experience, emphasizing collaborative work that honors each person's expertise about their own life.

She encourages clients to view the decision to start therapy as a courageous step toward greater well-being and offers support and guidance as they pursue meaningful change. Outside of practice she maintains strong ties to Tennessee after time spent in Kentucky and Colorado, and balances professional life with family roles and outdoor interests like hiking and travel.

Her approach blends practical strategies with solution-focused collaboration to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' goals and strengths, using brief, goal-oriented conversations to build steps toward change and to highlight what is already working.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time so the work fits the client's priorities and pace.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, practical support across a variety of everyday concerns.
