April Medici

April Medici is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and attention differences like ADHD. Her work is grounded in listening first and helping clients find concrete steps forward.

April began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education from the City University of New York. Those classroom and school counseling years shaped her direct, supportive style.

Her approach centers on the relationship between therapist and client. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns and build small, manageable changes.

April also incorporates solution-focused and narrative ideas to help clients reframe difficult experiences. She describes challenges as material to work with rather than fixed defects. This includes supporting people coping with life changes, career stress, or complex family dynamics.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. April encourages open conversation, practical skills practice, and pacing that fits each person’s needs. Prospective clients in Florida can expect a collaborative plan built around clear next steps and follow-up.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's priorities first and follows what matters most in each session. It helps when someone needs a listening space and wants the pace and focus set by their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by clarifying values and boosting readiness. It can be effective for addictions, health behavior changes, and overcoming stuckness.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. April will collaborate with each person to figure out what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins around other responsibilities. Therapists can also use shared worksheets and skill practice during sessions to keep progress between meetings.
