About Amy

Amy Coppinger is a licensed counselor in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, grief, and related life changes.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to tailor support to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Clients can expect an attentive, empathetic approach that values sensitivity and collaboration.

Her therapeutic toolkit draws from several evidence-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior and mindfulness practices, and client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s goals. Amy also integrates coaching elements to support practical change and coping skills development.

She has held roles as a therapist and supervisor in community behavioral health settings, which informs a pragmatic, strengths-based stance toward care. People seeking someone who combines warmth with skillful therapeutic strategies may find her style approachable and steady.

Amy encourages those ready to pursue change to take the initial step and offers flexible ways to connect that accommodate varying schedules and needs.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy



Amy integrates Internal Family Systems to help clients understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence thoughts, emotions, and behavior. This approach can be useful for exploring inner conflicts and building self-leadership. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and acceptance to create a supportive environment where clients set the pace and goals of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core option, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and related behaviors to improve mood and coping.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Amy works with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access care from home. These formats allow for regular check-ins and flexible communication styles, helping clients maintain continuity of care and apply therapeutic skills between sessions.
