About Amy

Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Arizona. She has 16 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and life changes. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make a first conversation feel manageable and calm.

Amy listens closely to what matters most to each person. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and see new possibilities.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to build a trusting space where people can name their goals and values. Her work often blends cognitive behavioral skills and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve daily coping. Amy can introduce practical tools for managing strong emotions, organizing thoughts, and spotting unhelpful patterns.

She also brings elements of dialectical behavior strategies when people need steadying skills for intense moments. Many clients seek support for parenting stress, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, bipolar mood management, or compassion fatigue. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, usable steps that fit each person’s life.

Amy emphasizes collaboration and adjusts the pace to what feels right for the client. She previously worked as a therapist and supervisor at a community behavioral health agency, where she supported a range of presenting concerns. That background informs her practical approach to problem solving and coaching toward clearer next steps.

How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online

Amy uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell the parts of their life that feel stuck, so they can notice different choices and possibilities. Narrative work often helps with identity, relationship patterns, grief, and major life changes by separating the problem from the person.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and perspective. This approach means sessions are guided by what the client wants to work on, with the therapist offering gentle reflection and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will discuss these options with each client and adapt methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they pick strategies that feel doable and meaningful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and routines. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
