Amy Coppinger , LPC, LCMHC

Amy Coppinger is a licensed counselor based in Arizona with 16 years of experience working as a therapist and supervisor in a non-profit community behavioral health agency. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, and addiction, bringing practical skills and compassionate attention to each case.

Amy maintains a warm, attentive counseling style and is known for being easygoing while treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work blends evidence-based and interpersonal perspectives - drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic principles, psychodynamic insights, and rational-emotive approaches - to tailor care around the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

She holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC, which indicate licensure as a professional counselor and as a clinical mental health counselor respectively. Amy frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on helping clients access motivation, develop coping skills, and build resilience as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

Amy understands that change can feel daunting and aims to provide steady support and encouragement for people ready to take steps toward growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Amy Coppinger draws on several complementary approaches to guide online therapy. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the client’s perspective and goals lead the work - this approach is helpful for building trust, exploring values, and strengthening self-confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical for treating anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills and coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships - it can be especially useful for intense emotions and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across different formats, helping clients access support from wherever they are and maintain continuity as their needs evolve.
