    About Amy

    Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Arizona. She brings 16 years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and attentive, and she aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable.

    Amy listens without judgement and treats people with respect and compassion. She adapts her work to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps, honest conversation, and building motivation for change.

    Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation when needed. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change.

    Amy has extensive experience in community behavioral health settings, including roles as a therapist and supervisor. That background informs a pragmatic style geared toward real-life problems like parenting strain, relationship conflict, grief, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.

    People who work with Amy can expect straightforward goals, compassionate listening, and tools they can use between sessions. She supports steps toward better coping, clearer priorities, and more consistent emotional balance.

  2. How Amy applies different approaches to online work

    Amy uses several practical approaches to help people meet their goals. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons to change and increasing readiness for action. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the person in finding their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

    Finding the right approach is a team effort. Amy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting over time based on what works best.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people appreciate that online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and format options during the initial matching so sessions can fit into your routine.
