About April

April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing big life shifts. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making progress in manageable steps for a busy life.

She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City. That classroom experience shaped how she listens and responds to practical struggles. April holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in counselor education from the City University of New York.

She uses straightforward methods people can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to find their own reasons to change.

Client-Centered principles guide how she meets people where they are. Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship and focus on the person's strengths. April also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins.

With 15 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, parenting stress, and ADHD. She practices in Florida and speaks English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking, as formats can vary.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into clear steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and sessions are adjusted based on what is helpful.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping appointments during travel or work breaks, and using short check-ins when they need them. Therapists can assign brief exercises, thought records, or mindfulness practices between sessions to support change in daily life.
