About Amy

Amy Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and problems with self-esteem. She works with people facing life changes, career pressures, and intimacy-related struggles. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming for someone already worried or unsure.

Amy brings eight years of clinical experience to her work and emphasizes a client-centered approach. She adjusts techniques to fit each person's needs and explains different parts of therapy in plain language. Her background includes focused training in trauma and abuse work with Stephanie Covington, which informs how she helps people heal without reliving traumatic memories.

Her practice also includes support for people dealing with substance use and other addictions. Amy describes using a harm-reduction perspective that meets people where they are and helps them move toward goals that matter to them. She has also pursued training related to disordered eating and body image concerns.

In sessions, Amy draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices alongside person-centered, solution-minded work. She sees therapy as a collaborative journey and works to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for discussing thoughts and feelings. Practical skills, clear explanations, and steady support are central to her approach.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Amy speaks English and practices in Colorado as an LPC.

Therapeutic approaches useful for online work

Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy, which means she focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s goals and preferences. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk and be heard.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and unhelpful patterns, and works well when people want step-by-step tools.

Mindfulness techniques are another part of her practice, teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up in them. These exercises can help with stress, grounding after difficult memories, and building tolerance for strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy treats therapy as collaborative and will help figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts plans as progress unfolds and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the initial matching and when arranging sessions.
