About Amy
Amy Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and substance concerns. She listens for practical struggles and focuses on clear steps people can use right away. Amy aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful for everyday life.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. That often means identifying patterns that get in the way and trying small changes to get different results.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape short-term goals and track progress. Amy trained at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky, where she completed two master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling. Her work history includes independent practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health in Tennessee.
She has four years of professional experience working with adults facing a variety of challenges. She grew up in East Tennessee and has lived in Kentucky and Colorado before returning to Tennessee. Outside of work she spends time with family, grandchildren, and her dogs, and enjoys hiking, travel, movies, and trying new foods.
Those personal interests inform a down-to-earth approach in sessions. Amy frames clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. She offers support while helping people set realistic, measurable goals and make changes that fit their daily lives.

How these approaches translate to online care
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and small, practical changes that lead toward a clearer goal. It is useful for parenting issues, communication problems, and short-term goals like reducing risky substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy partners with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and texting work well for quick progress updates, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
