Sometimes clarity arrives one message at a time. Hi, I’m Mandy Lopez Azimy, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Mexico and Arizona. I work primarily through asynchronous messaging rather than live video or phone sessions. This creates a calm, steady space where you can write when things are actually coming up for you, not just during a scheduled appointment. I respond during consistent check-in times throughout the week. Some people prefer choosing one steady day as a more focused back-and-forth day, while others write as things come up. Together, we’ll find a rhythm that works and keep it steady. Because therapy through messaging is a collaborative process, I encourage active participation. Depending on your goals, I may incorporate reflection questions, journaling prompts, worksheets, or goal-setting exercises to help deepen insight and support progress between messages. While my practice is centered around messaging, there may be times when a live text chat is helpful for working through a specific issue in real time. When appropriate, we can discuss whether a live chat session would be beneficial. Many people who feel anxious about live sessions or have busy, unpredictable schedules find messaging to be a more comfortable and sustainable way to engage in therapy. I work with anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship concerns, communication difficulties, and family challenges. My approach is warm, structured, and focused on helping things feel clearer, more manageable, and more aligned with the life you want to create. This is a space to begin gently, explore honestly, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. I look forward to working with you here.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults in primary care, community mental health, and university settings. Over the years, I’ve worked alongside people navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, chronic illness, trauma, and those moments when life simply feels like a lot. My approach to therapy is warm, holistic, and very human. I don’t believe therapy needs to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. We can be real, we can laugh when it fits, and we can slow down to sit with the hard things when they show up. I practice from a trauma‑informed perspective and draw from Narrative Therapy, Solution‑Focused approaches, and Person‑Centered work to help you better understand your story and move toward meaningful, sustainable change. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that honors your pace, your values, and your lived experience. Together, we’ll focus on what’s within your control, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, and strengthen the tools and insights that support the life you want to build. Starting therapy takes courage, especially when you’re unsure of what to expect or where to begin. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a space to be heard and supported, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to walk with you for part of your journey and offer support along the way.

Hey, I think it’s time for a deep breath! The more we chase speculation the more we turn those things into a mental drain. Most of us just need to slow things down and relax, to let our natural gifts come to the surface. Sometimes the assets in our toolboxes get a little rusty. I can help you re-discover them for current and upcoming challenging scenarios. For over 30 years my client base has encompassed individuals, couples, and families in a number of diverse areas. I have counseled in homes, organizations, schools, places of worship, and the military. Ten years of international experience allows me to assess relationships from a variety of diverse angle. I prefer to work with my clients in the present and future. It was Winston Churchill’s wife that said “ You are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.” So being imperfect and having doubts is important. I'd like to think I’m practical and motivating, with a dash of humor. I'm available Monday - Friday with my pre-set days/times from the AM: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 8:45, 11:30 and in the PM: 12:45, 2:00, 3:15, 4:30. And also Saturday: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 845. All in CST time zone. My clients set their own day/times with the BetterHelp Scheduler. And upfront I don't do in-session therapy by "text only." Clients and I can text each other between sessions as needed. Folks after 30 years of walking down this career path I know at this time in my life what I'm good at, and ones that I'm moving on from. As a result I have a narrow range of clients. I have been involved with all the noted areas below – believe I’ve left behind a good tradecraft in those areas that covered many years. My best interests are with you - giving you the best service you deserve. So based on the above, I’m don’t take clients in the following areas: pornography, ADHD, domestic violence, clients 29 and below, anxiety, A&D& and Vape, anxiety, LBGTQ, pre-marital counseling, suicidal ideation (under a year), and those wanting live chat therapy only. MOST IMPORTANT, on the first session - the use of a firehose strategy doesn’t work out for the both of us. You know the firehose – info bombarding because you want to get me up to date, an emotionally charged dump of data that I can’t keep up with – a waste of the first session. I need you to entrust your case to me - everything will come to the surface soon; but there’s a method for that. To me the first session is important - the last thing I want to do is waste our time. I look forward to talking with you!

Find a therapist near you in Youngtown, Arizona

Finding a therapist near you in Youngtown, Arizona starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Arizona is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Arizona, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Arizona, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Arizona

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Arizona, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
