About Amy
Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Arizona with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Amy’s style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens, reflects, and works with each person to identify what matters most to them. Conversations tend to be practical and aimed at clearer choices rather than long theoretical talks.
Her approach draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps with mood problems, coping skills, managing urges, and improving day-to-day relationships.
In a typical session she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, practice new skills, and set small, manageable goals between appointments. She also uses motivational interviewing to address readiness for change when addictions or ambivalence are present.
Amy previously worked as a therapist and supervisor at a nonprofit community behavioral health agency. That background means she has experience with a wide range of concerns, from career stress to compassion fatigue.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Amy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person’s priorities shape the work and goals.She also blends elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or intense urges are present. DBT skills include grounding, distress tolerance, and communication practices that can reduce conflict and decrease reactive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amy will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps adjust techniques over time as progress or setbacks appear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life because they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule around work or childcare. Amy’s approaches translate into clear exercises, skill practice, and short homework tasks that can be used between online appointments.
