About Amy
Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Arizona. She has 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. Amy describes her style as warm and attentive and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through hard moments.
Amy focuses on practical steps and everyday skills. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness methods to teach emotion regulation and grounding skills. She tailors sessions to each person rather than following a single template. That means combining approaches based on what a person needs, such as motivational interviewing for someone working on addiction or narrative techniques to reframe difficult life stories.
Her background includes many years in a nonprofit community behavioral health setting where she worked as a therapist and supervisor. Amy emphasizes collaborative work and clear goals. Sessions typically include concrete tools, brief skill practice, and planning for real-life situations between meetings.
She encourages steady steps and celebrates small changes along the way. If someone is ready to address parenting strain, grief, intimacy concerns, bipolar mood challenges, or compassion fatigue, Amy offers straightforward support and coaching to help move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. The therapist creates space for clients to set their own goals and guides conversations with gentle, nonjudgmental questions. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and support while figuring out their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and homework exercises to practice between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers clear tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication. These techniques can be especially helpful when strong reactions get in the way of daily life or relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and guided skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum during busy schedules. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving routines.
