About Amy

Amy Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. She supports individuals facing substance use and other addictive behaviors, and she helps people cope with grief, career changes, and intimacy-related issues. Amy uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people take practical steps forward.

She draws on a mix of client-centered work and skill-based approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often include concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help interrupt unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want targeted change or clearer next steps.

Amy has eight years of professional experience and holds an LPC credential in Colorado. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and additional training around disordered eating and body image. She emphasizes a harm-reduction stance when addressing substance use and addiction concerns.

Her style is adaptable and nonjudgmental. She combines practical skill-building with open conversation so people can name goals and practice new habits between sessions. Amy encourages clients to move at a pace that feels doable and to try small changes that add up.

People who prefer an approach that balances listening with clear strategies may find her helpful. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so she can understand priorities and plan initial steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Amy commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques when people want practical change. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, making space for their concerns to unfold. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers tools to spot thought and behavior patterns and to try small experiments that change how someone feels and acts.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice moments of stress without immediately reacting. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, emotional ups and downs, and improving awareness in relationships. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments when sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
