Amy Cooper , LPC

Amy Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress and anxiety that often intersect with personal relationships and workplace pressures, and she brings a strong background supporting people with substance use disorders and other addictions. Amy often uses a harm-reduction approach when treating addictions, helping clients make safer choices and move toward more fulfilling lives without requiring immediate abstinence.

Amy received specialized training from Stephanie Covington, a researcher and author known for work in trauma and abuse. That training informs her trauma work and enables clients to pursue healing without being asked to relive painful memories. She has also completed training related to disordered eating and supports clients in building healthier relationships with food and body image.

Her style is integrative and client-centered - she adapts strategies to each person while offering education about the therapeutic process. Amy draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address issues such as grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue. She approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, aiming to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and practical goals can be pursued.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and self-directed change. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, mindfulness therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can be helpful for emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan reflects the client’s values and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency amid busy schedules, manage care from different locations within the same state, and access support in formats that feel most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals, including Amy, use these remote methods to provide ongoing care that is adaptable to everyday life.
