About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, kind approach to sessions and emphasizes practical steps people can use right away. She uses client-centered therapy to build trust and help people talk through what matters to them.
That foundation often leads to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when helpful for emotional regulation, addiction concerns, or anxiety. April aims to help people find clear ways to manage strong feelings like anger and stress.
Background and approach
Before counseling, she studied scientific inquiry and completed a bachelor’s thesis in neuroscience exploring brain signals that affect eating and behavior. She also worked as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field and has studied cultural diversity and holistic health approaches for more than 30 years. These experiences shape how she listens and the kinds of tools she offers.
April believes people can change their well-being when given the right support and straightforward methods. Sessions are collaborative: she asks questions, uses periodic assessments, and adjusts work to match each person’s goals. Her stated motto is "Kindness Matters," and she describes her role as guiding rather than judging.
She is based in Texas and holds the LPC credential. April stays engaged with professional networks and looks for resources when a question falls outside her experience. Her style aims to be warm and practical while helping people make choices that fit their values.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own answers; it is about creating a respectful space to talk through problems and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful when anger or strong emotions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your situation, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. Sessions can be adjusted over time with periodic assessments so the plan stays aligned with what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling flexible. Video is useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for quicker check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need short ongoing support. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
