About April
April Medici is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience working with adults. She focuses on common early-adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career uncertainty, and coping with major life changes. April also addresses trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns.
She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor with the New York City Board of Education. April holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education from the City University of New York. That school background shaped her direct, practical approach to helping people move forward.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are tools she brings in to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. Narrative elements are used to help people make sense of their experiences and create new directions.
April’s work grew from personal experiences with adversity, which inform her interest in trauma work and resilience. She works with a wide range of issues that commonly affect young adults, including relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career decisions, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Her style emphasizes clear, honest conversation and practical steps you can try between sessions. To begin, April asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How April’s therapeutic approaches fit into online work
April commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns and priorities. This approach involves listening, reflecting, and helping the client shape the conversation so it stays relevant to their goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want concrete strategies and short-term experiments to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. April will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. That conversation guides whether the focus is more CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative work, or a client-centered stance.
