About Amy

Amy Cooper is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, direct style and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Amy emphasizes compassion and clear communication during sessions to help clients move forward at their own pace.

She draws on eight years of clinical work supporting people with substance use issues, trauma and abuse, disordered eating concerns, and grief. Her background includes training with Stephanie Covington in trauma-informed approaches that aim to support healing without forcing clients to relive painful memories. Amy also integrates harm-reduction thinking when working on substance use and addiction concerns.

Amy uses a mix of client-centered techniques and structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. She brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when clients want help building readiness and making changes. Sessions often include practical skills, short experiments, and gentle reflection to build new routines and coping habits.

She works with a wide range of issues including intimacy-related worries, self-esteem and body image concerns, caregiver stress, communication and commitment struggles, and codependency. Amy also supports people dealing with career transitions and compassion fatigue. Her approach adapts to each person’s goals while keeping discussions straightforward and actionable.

If you’re ready to start, she asks that you choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule per therapist availability.

How Amy Uses Mindfulness and Practical Tools Online

Amy blends Mindfulness Therapy with client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns without judgment. Mindfulness techniques are described simply and used to build moment-to-moment awareness, which can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice alternative responses. CBT techniques tend to focus on short experiments and skill practice that can be tracked between sessions. Motivational Interviewing appears when clients want help finding motivation and setting achievable change steps in areas like substance use or lifestyle shifts.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. Sessions may combine reflective listening, mindfulness exercises, and concrete CBT assignments so clients can test what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how appointments are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about practical arrangements and what will work best for your routine.
