About Amy
Amy Vann is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Amy also works with issues related to addiction, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, parenting, and self-esteem.
Her background includes private practice and work in a county detention facility in Colorado, followed by community mental health work in Tennessee. She earned dual master's degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling.
Amy uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to structure sessions and set clear steps between meetings. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than vague goals.
She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Amy describes the first steps as straightforward - clarifying what a person wants to change, testing new skills, and reviewing what works.
Outside of work she is a wife, stepmom, grandmother, and dog owner. Her personal interests include hiking, travel, reading, movies, sports events, and trying new foods. These everyday experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth approach to counseling.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical alternatives. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so a person can try small behavioral experiments and notice real changes. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that by narrowing attention to concrete goals and next steps rather than long reviews of the past.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with clients to decide which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals, try specific skills between sessions, and adjust the plan based on what works.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent with everyday life rather than disrupting it.
