About Amy
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Arizona with 16 years of experience, Amy Coppinger helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She is experienced with depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting questions, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coaching. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Amy uses straightforward, practical methods in session. She draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas. Conversations focus on clarifying goals, identifying patterns, and finding steps that fit daily life. She adapts methods over time based on what is helping.
Her background includes extensive work in a nonprofit community behavioral health setting where she provided therapy and supervision. That experience shaped her comfort with a broad range of concerns and with supporting people through crisis and long-term change. She describes a style that is calm and attentive, treating people with respect and sensitivity.
In practical terms she helps people learn skills for managing intense emotion, breaking unhelpful cycles, and improving communication. People can expect collaborative planning, concrete coping strategies, and regular check-ins on progress. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when ambivalence about change is present.
Before a first session she asks people to clarify what they hope to address so sessions start with clear goals. Amy uses supervision experience when clinical questions arise and adjusts treatment as needed. If you plan to book, confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical changes in behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication gets stuck.She also uses client-centered principles in her online work, which means conversations begin with the person's goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what is working and adjust techniques together as needs and goals evolve.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Practical benefits can include scheduling flexibility, the ability to hold focused skill-practice between sessions, and using mindfulness or CBT exercises in everyday settings without changing locations.
