Amy Vann, LPC

Amy Vann is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long explanations.

She uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means working together to identify unhelpful thinking and to build small, doable changes that reduce tension and improve daily functioning. Conversations include skill practice, straightforward feedback, and brief check-ins on progress.

Her background includes work in private practice, a county detention facility in Colorado, and community mental health in Tennessee. She holds two master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Addictions Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. Those roles exposed her to a range of concerns from substance use to family conflict.

Amy describes the client as the expert on their own life and uses that as a starting point. Sessions aim to tap into existing strengths and to add tools for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions. Practical strategies for codependency, communication problems, and substance-related issues are part of the focus when relevant.

Outside clinical work she returned to Tennessee after time in Kentucky and Colorado. She is a wife, stepmom, grandmother, and dog owner who spends free time hiking, traveling, reading, and trying new foods. That life experience informs a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
