About Amy
Amy Vann is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people get unstuck. Amy draws on several years of clinical work to guide sessions with warmth and directness.
She earned two master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. Her work history includes independent practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health services in Tennessee.
Background and approach
That mix gave her exposure to varied life situations and practical problem-solving skills. Amy favors brief, goal-oriented methods that focus on what’s most pressing. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable steps.
Sessions aim to build coping skills for day-to-day challenges like anger, codependency, substance concerns, and family stress. She describes clients as the experts in their own lives and works in partnership with them. Expect a calm, encouraging style that centers your goals and strengths.
Amy balances empathy with clear tools you can use between sessions. Outside of work she values family life in Tennessee and enjoys hiking, travel, reading, and time with her dogs. That grounded, down-to-earth perspective shows up in how she approaches practical change in therapy.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working now and on building small, realistic goals. It helps people identify strengths and simple actions to move toward the life they want, which can be useful for relationship or family issues, codependency, and life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face interaction from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between appointments and can fit into a work break or a hectic schedule. Licensed professionals can use these options to make therapy more flexible and accessible.
