About April
April DeJesus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress and anxiety and creates a calm setting for honest conversation. April encourages small first steps and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
She directs sessions toward practical ways to reduce daily stress and manage anxious thoughts. Conversations are plain and focused on what is happening now, with tools people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes listening first, then working together to try techniques that feel doable. April also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to issues such as infidelity, veteran and armed forces experiences, and multicultural challenges.
She aims to connect each concern to concrete coping strategies rather than labels. Sessions may include short skills practice, breath or grounding exercises, and talking through specific situations that cause worry. April explains ideas in straightforward terms and checks that methods fit each person's life.
The work is collaborative and paced to what the client needs. She offers several formats for meeting, so people can choose what works best for their schedule and comfort. New clients start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
April uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-management tactics to reduce anxiety and handle stressful moments. These are short, repeatable tools to use when worry spikes.An additional approach centers on problem-focused conversations that look at specific relationship or family issues and identify manageable steps forward. This helps people break larger problems into tasks they can try between sessions. Both approaches emphasize clear language, gradual practice, and adjusting techniques so they fit daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. April collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. She starts with listening, then suggests methods and revises them based on feedback from the client so the plan evolves together.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking flexible care. Video calls approximate a face-to-face session, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when a short update is needed. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days and allow consistent contact while working toward goals.
