About April
April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate overwhelming emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. April speaks English and works with adults in Florida who are looking for steady, experience-based guidance.
She began her career in education as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City. That classroom work shaped her calm, direct style and her interest in helping people manage big emotions.
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. In sessions she centers the relationship first. April uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person.
She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and with Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. People can expect clear tools for coping with anger, anxiety, or cravings, and short-term planning to manage immediate stressors.
She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people make sense of difficult events. April offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick the format that fits their schedule. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both the client and therapist.

How April blends approaches for online care
April often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for issues like anxiety, anger, low mood, and many stress-related patterns. She also works in a client-centered way, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and aim to build trust and clear goals together.The right approach is found together. April will listen to your situation, discuss what you want to change, and suggest techniques that fit your goals. This collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time based on what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments while using the clinical approaches described above.
