April Medici, LMHC

April Medici is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with individuals dealing with relationship strain, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. April writes and draws on long experience to make therapy straightforward and practical.

She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor with the New York City Board of Education. That classroom work shaped how she listens and responds. April later completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselor education from the City University of New York.

April’s approach centers on the client and on building a strong working relationship. She uses client-centered methods and solution-focused ideas to help people set goals and find steps they can actually use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are part of her practice for changing unhelpful thoughts and increasing motivation.

She also brings mindfulness and narrative techniques into sessions to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult experiences. April has 15 years of experience working with trauma, family concerns, ADHD, and complex life stressors. Her background includes supporting people affected by cancer, domestic violence, and substance issues.

People who work with April can expect clear, practical conversations about what to try next. She asks about goals, suggests small experiments, and reviews progress along the way. To begin, prospective clients follow the site intake steps and schedule sessions according to availability.

How April’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person’s lead. In online sessions this looks like reflective conversation, checking what matters most, and shaping goals together to match daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Online work in CBT often includes short homework tasks, practice between sessions, and reviewing what did or didn’t work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. April will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying out ideas, noting what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a break. It also supports using written worksheets, screen-shared exercises, and audio-guided mindfulness practices when those tools suit the plan. The goal is to make therapy practical and usable in day-to-day life while tailoring methods to each person’s situation.
