About April
April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. April writes and draws on 15 years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support.
She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City schools. Those classroom and counseling roles shaped how she listens and responds.
Background and approach
April earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in counselor education from the City University of New York, and she later moved into community mental health work in South Florida. April combines Client-Centered therapy with solution-focused thinking and strength-based care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change patterns that cause distress.
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are brought in when they fit a person's needs. Sessions are practical and goal oriented. April prioritizes building a trusting relationship first, then works with each person to set small, achievable steps.
She emphasizes clear, everyday language and tools that can be used between sessions. Her background as a teacher and counselor informs a supportive, down-to-earth style. April aims to help people regain control, manage symptoms, and navigate transitions with more confidence.
Approaches for online work and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. April will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time, checking in regularly to make sure the plan feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and step-by-step skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection and quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while working on real, practical changes.
