Amy Coppinger

Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Arizona. She brings 16 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, stress, or major life changes. Her manner is relaxed and respectful, aiming to make hard conversations easier to start.

She focuses on practical skills and clear steps people can use between sessions. Amy mixes mindfulness practices with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral tools. She uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those fit the situation.

Amy spent many years as a therapist and supervisor at a community behavioral health agency. That work involved supporting people through addiction, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. Those experiences shaped her belief that therapy should be adapted to each person rather than following a single plan.

In sessions she pays close attention and responds with compassion and realistic suggestions. She helps people notice thought and behavior patterns, try small changes, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She also supports clients who want coaching-style help with goals and life transitions.

If someone is ready to change, she focuses on steady steps and supports motivation along the way. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to make sure arrangements match their needs.

How her methods translate to online work

Amy uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily signals without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and calm anxiety. Mindfulness exercises often involve short practices and observation skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s goals and feelings with a supportive, nonjudgmental stance. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another core tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amy will discuss options with each client and combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single model. That way the plan changes if something isn’t working.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow short check-ins when schedules are tight, and support practicing mindfulness or skill work at home between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to remote sessions so people can keep progress moving even when life is busy.
