About April
April Kouri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and other life challenges. April aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and find clearer ways forward.
She uses straightforward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and build a respectful, collaborative relationship.
Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, realistic goals and track progress over time. April has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida. Her background includes work in residential, inpatient, outpatient, and school settings.
That variety shaped her ability to support people facing addiction, eating disorders, chronic illness, grief, and life transitions. Her clinical experience includes helping people with process addictions such as gaming and internet-related problems and supporting caregivers and people dealing with chronic medical conditions. She offers practical coping tools for parenting stress, relationship strain, and career-related concerns while attending to emotional health.
April provides multiple online session formats, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She encourages collaborative planning so each person can choose the pace and methods that fit their life. To begin, patients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. It supports emotional processing and can help when anxiety, grief, or relationship stress make it hard to talk about feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. It often involves simple exercises and small behavior changes you can try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is working and on clear, short-term goals. It helps people build momentum by identifying small steps that lead to noticeable improvement.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. April will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face-to-face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, ongoing caregiving responsibilities, or medical limitations while still working on anxiety, stress, and life changes.
