About Amy
Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Arizona with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Amy uses clear, practical methods to address thoughts, feelings, and everyday habits that get in the way of coping. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques are also part of her approach when they fit a person's goals.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings. That might include short behavioral experiments, skills practice for managing intense feelings, or exercises to shift negative thinking. She also offers space to talk through life changes, grief, and relationship stress in a straightforward way.
Amy has prior experience as a therapist and supervisor at a nonprofit community behavioral health agency. That background informs a practical, results-oriented focus and familiarity with common life stressors and addiction concerns. She aims to help people build daily routines and coping habits that reduce distress and increase stability.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How cognitive and skills-based approaches work in online sessions
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems, short-term goals, and exercises to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's concerns and perspective. That approach involves reflective listening and working at the client's pace to clarify goals and next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when those skills match the client's needs.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Amy will discuss what seems most useful based on a person's goals, symptoms, and life context, and adjust methods over time if something isn't working.
