About April

April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and related concerns including ADHD.

Background and approach

She combines a client-centered outlook with evidence-based techniques to support meaningful change, emphasizing kindness and respect as cornerstones of the therapeutic relationship. Before entering counseling, April studied Scientific Inquiry and completed a bachelor’s thesis in neuroscience, researching brain signals linked to eating and behavior.

She also worked as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field, bringing more than three decades of study in cultural diversity and holistic approaches to her clinical work. This background informs a broad perspective on well-being and recovery.

April uses strengths-based assessment interviews to understand each client’s needs and tailors care using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices. She values collaboration, education, and advocacy, and maintains membership in The Texas Counseling Association as part of her ethical practice.

Her approach aims to help clients build confidence, find motivation, and make choices aligned with their values.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

April blends client-centered therapy with structured interventions to support clients in making practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore values and choices; this approach is useful when people need a supportive space to reflect and grow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through skills and assignments that can be practiced between sessions, helping with anxiety, mood concerns, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are helpful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to select or blend approaches based on their goals, preferences, and response to treatment, adjusting plans through periodic assessment to make sure progress aligns with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows work to continue from varied locations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills in day-to-day contexts, and stay connected with a licensed professional when in-person visits are not practical.
