About April

April Medici is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and related issues.

Background and approach

She brings a background in special education and school counseling to her clinical work, drawing on early career experience within the New York City public school system and advanced study in psychology and counselor education from the City University of New York. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that centers the client’s perspective.

She blends client-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative approaches to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build practical skills.

April describes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where difficult experiences can be processed and new coping strategies developed. Clients seeking support for life transitions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, or mood and behavioral difficulties will find a practitioner who values resilience and practical problem solving.

April combines clinical training with lived-experience motivation to guide people toward clearer goals and sustainable coping strategies.

Integrating practical approaches in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the client's perspective and building a supportive relationship that helps people feel heard and understood; this approach is useful for clients working through interpersonal concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and emotional ups and downs.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods over time so the work aligns with the client's needs and pace.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapy from different settings and schedules. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives and to continue work between sessions using tools and strategies discussed during appointments.
