About April
April Quigley is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help people feel steadier and cope better with everyday challenges. April favors a person-centered, holistic style.
She pays attention to thoughts, feelings, and how the body responds to stress. Sessions focus on finding what works for each person and building skills that fit into daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach often includes cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She combines that with mindfulness practices to calm the nervous system and increase focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to set clear goals and take small steps forward.
April has worked in the field for 11 years and holds LPC and LCPC credentials. She brings practical experience helping people facing trauma, relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she aims to uncover root causes rather than only addressing surface symptoms.
That can mean learning new coping strategies, practicing emotional regulation, or adjusting habits that keep problems stuck. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness. Outside of practice she enjoys gardening, hiking, baking, music, art, and sports.
These personal interests inform a down-to-earth style that many people find approachable and relatable.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT helps people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. Online sessions often include practical worksheets, thought records, and between-session tasks to practice new skills.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques can be guided in real time during video or phone sessions and practiced between meetings.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by clarifying values and increasing readiness. It pairs well with goal-oriented online work and short check-ins to track progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. April will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then tailor methods to fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when people prefer writing over speaking. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
