About April
April Medici is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
April began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor for the New York City Board of Education. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education from the City University of New York. Her background includes long-term work in South Florida communities and experience with trauma-related care.
Her clinical approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She also draws on Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people rethink difficult patterns and manage strong emotions. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
In practice she favors a strengths-minded, solution-focused style. Conversations tend to focus on what is working, what needs to change, and small first steps toward those changes. She believes the relationship between client and counselor matters most to progress.
April writes about mental health topics and brings that perspective into sessions. People who prefer straightforward, problem-solving conversations alongside reflective work often find this approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
All sessions are conducted in English and April is based in Florida as an FL LMHC.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a cooperative relationship so the client can identify goals and priorities. It helps when someone wants guidance that is based on their own values and experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into concrete steps and experiments to try between sessions; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with emotion regulation.Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they may combine elements from CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness so sessions match the person’s needs rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling around daily life, allowing shorter check-ins, fewer travel arrangements, and sessions that can be scheduled during a break from work. It also lets people use phone calls or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements when scheduling so sessions fit the client’s routine.
