About Amy
Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful for busy parents. Her manner is warm and attentive so people can focus on practical steps they can use at home.
With 16 years of experience, she draws on approaches that encourage clients to notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often include thinking through unhelpful thoughts, building coping strategies, and using mindfulness to manage intense feelings. Amy adapts what she uses to match each person's situation rather than following a single method. People meet her for help with relationship strain, grief, anger, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and the stress of parenting.
She also supports those coping with bipolar mood swings and compassion fatigue. Conversations typically center on setting clear goals and practicing skills between sessions. Amy practiced for many years at a nonprofit community behavioral health agency where she also supervised other clinicians.
That background informs her practical focus and experience with a wide range of concerns. She offers therapy in English and works with people located in Arizona. Her sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that work well over video or text. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making during heated moments.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace. This approach helps people feel heard while deciding which practical tools to try. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be a quick way to check in, practice brief strategies, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy family routines.
