About Amy
Amy Coppinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and anger. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical change rather than jargon.
She draws on a mix of client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral tools to help people manage emotions and reactions. Amy also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing appears in her work when people are weighing change or struggling with addictive behavior.
In session she prioritizes listening and collaboration. People can expect clear skills training, short-term strategies for handling intense feelings, and attention to patterns that repeat in relationships or at work. Amy aims to help people notice triggers and test new ways of responding.
Her background includes many years at a community behavioral health agency where she worked as a therapist and supervisor. That setting brought experience with a wide range of concerns and practical problems in daily life.
For someone dealing with sudden irritability, simmering resentment, or angry reactions that feel out of control, she offers step-by-step skills and conversational coaching to reduce escalation. To begin, readers should confirm the current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Amy commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals; it helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener to sort through emotions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for handling anger and workplace stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers short, practical exercises for reducing escalation and managing intense feelings in the moment. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands rather than imposing one model. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or busy schedules and can allow focused skill practice between meetings. For many people, remote sessions let them try short check-ins or regular weekly meetings without long travel time; talk with her about what will fit your routine.Areas of focus
