April Medici, LMHC

April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people make steady changes that fit their daily lives.

She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor with the New York City Board of Education. That background shaped her focus on clear communication and straightforward problem-solving. April holds 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 person rather than a diagnosis. April draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused ideas to build on strengths. She also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and narrative approaches when they fit the situation.

Her work has included helping people cope with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and complex life changes. She also supports people navigating ADHD, bipolar challenges, eating and intimacy-related concerns, and substance-related issues. The focus is on practical steps and clearer thinking more than labels.

April emphasizes a strong working relationship as the most important part of change. She invites clients to set goals and to try tools that match their values and routines. The pace is collaborative and directed by what the person says is most urgent.

How April’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy

April commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and following the client’s agenda so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. April works collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s goals, strengths, and preferences. She will check in and adjust tools over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she schedules sessions. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or after work. Online work can also make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises, try brief skills between meetings, or maintain steady contact while handling everyday responsibilities.
