About Amy
Amy Vann, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with relationships. She also supports people dealing with codependency, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. Her tone is straightforward and warm, and she aims to make first steps feel doable for worried parents and busy people.
Amy uses practical approaches that focus on what is happening now and what can change. She listens for strengths in each person's story and builds on those. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and clear steps to try between meetings.
She has around four years of professional experience and has worked in private practice, a county detention facility, and community mental health. Amy earned two master’s degrees from the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky: one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and one in Addictions Counseling. She is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
Amy grew up in East Tennessee and has lived in Kentucky and Colorado. Those moves shaped how she understands family, stress, and resilience. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, reading, travel, and time with family and dogs.
In sessions she treats each person as the expert in their life. She offers encouragement, clear tools, and a steady presence while people work through practical problems and painful feelings.
How Amy Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Amy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms, CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of reacting to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhealthy coping behaviors.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals. That approach concentrates on what’s already working and builds simple steps toward change, which can be useful for problems like communication issues, codependency patterns, and early relapse prevention in addiction recovery.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Amy will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan so work feels useful and meaningful.
