April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She brings 15 years of experience and a calm, practical style to conversations. April aims to make therapy usable and focused on real problems.
She meets people where they are and works at a comfortable pace. April began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City.
Background and approach
That early classroom work shaped her way of listening and explaining things simply. She later completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education at the City University of New York. In sessions she centers the relationship and uses clear tools people can try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to find internal reasons to change. Her approach also draws on client-centered principles and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their stories.
April pays attention to strengths and practical next steps more than labels or jargon. She works with concerns ranging from addiction and eating issues to parenting stress, ADHD, trauma and mood challenges. April is based in Florida and practices as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
She offers sessions in English and designs plans around each person’s goals. The focus is on clear, usable strategies that fit everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
April commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change; it helps find personal reasons to move forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. April collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between appointments and can fit into a busy day without scheduling extra travel.
