About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma, and mood concerns. She works with adults who are navigating depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or family strain. April focuses on building a steady, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can make changes that matter to them.
She began her path studying scientific inquiry and completed a bachelor thesis in neuroscience, researching brain signals that influence eating and behavior.
Background and approach
That early research work led to roles in the natural health field as a research scientist and educator. Those experiences shaped her interest in multicultural issues and holistic approaches to well-being. April describes her practice around a simple motto - Kindness Matters.
She favors client-centered conversation that helps people reflect on their values and choices rather than offering direct advice. She also draws on evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior work when those tools fit a person’s goals. Assessment interviews are used periodically to highlight strengths and track progress.
April emphasizes clear ethics and advocates for clients through education and resources. She is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association and seeks answers when something falls outside her scope. Sessions aim to increase motivation, build coping skills, and reduce patterns that get in the way of daily life.
The tone in her work is warm, straightforward, and occasionally lighthearted while keeping a focus on practical steps clients can use right away.
Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person and their goals. It involves open listening, reflection, and helping people make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and when someone needs a steady, supportive space to sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, panic, worry, and mood problems through practical exercises and short activities between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and intense mood shifts.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to give feedback and to try different tools until something fits.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to send updates between appointments or to have flexible, brief check-ins that fit a busy schedule. These options help people access care that fits daily life and practical constraints.
