Amy Vann , LPC

Amy Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, anger management, depression, and a wide range of other concerns across settings that include private practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health services in Tennessee.

Amy earned two masters degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky - one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and one in Addictions Counseling - training that informs her work with substance use issues and related challenges. She draws on that background when helping clients navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Raised in East Tennessee, Amy spent time living in Kentucky and Colorado before returning to the Volunteer State. Outside of her professional life she is a wife, stepmom, grandmother known as Mims, and dog mom to Cooper, Josie, and Finnegan. She enjoys traveling, hiking, reading, movies, sporting events, and trying new foods.

Amy approaches therapy from the perspective that each person understands their own story and brings strengths to the work of change. She aims to support and encourage people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life, collaborating with clients to build practical skills and solutions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a brief, goal-oriented approach that concentrates on clients strengths and practical steps to address specific problems such as relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they explore options, try techniques, and adapt the plan over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, maintain continuity when travel or schedules change, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
