About Amy

Amy Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She also supports those facing grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy challenges, and issues related to LGBT concerns. Amy aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respected.

Amy uses a client-centered approach that adapts to each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and present-moment awareness during stressful times.

Her background includes work with substance use and other addictions, using harm-reduction methods to help people reduce harm and move toward healthier choices. She has training from trauma researcher Stephanie Covington, which informs how she supports trauma recovery without forcing clients to re-live painful memories.

Amy has eight years of professional experience as an LPC in Colorado. In recent work she has focused on disordered eating, body image, and building healthier relationships with food. She also helps people navigate attachment and adoption-related concerns, abandonment, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she mixes practical tools with education about how therapy works. The work often includes short skills practice, goal-setting, and gentle examination of patterns that keep people stuck. Amy emphasizes collaboration and a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and worked through.

Approaches that translate to online work

Amy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and understanding the person's goals so the therapist can adapt to their needs; it helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices often involve short exercises in breathing or noticing sensations that can be practiced between sessions to support calm and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaboration may mean trying a few tools and keeping what helps while adjusting what does not.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since options are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use mindfulness or skills practice in real-world settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide how to apply CBT and client-centered strategies effectively in remote sessions.
