About April
April Medici is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career in education as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City before moving into mental health. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and related life changes.
She uses a direct, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations typically center on what feels most pressing at home and in relationships. She draws on practical tools to address mood, coping, and communication rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect straightforward discussion and concrete steps to try between meetings.
Medici trained in counselor education at the City University of New York, where she completed a master’s degree after studying psychology at the undergraduate level. Her background in schools and trauma work shapes how she listens for patterns that affect daily life. That experience also informs her attention to blended family issues, parenting stress, first responder concerns, and related challenges.
She commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking, build practical coping skills, and support motivation for change. Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas also appear in sessions when they match a person’s goals.
April emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to clarify what they want to change and to set bite-sized goals. The process aims to reduce immediate pressure at home and create clearer steps forward.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
April commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful routines. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them describe problems and decide on next steps.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice stress and react differently to difficult moments. Mindfulness practices can be brief and useful for parenting stress, intense emotions, and coping with change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy household, allow shorter check-ins when that works better, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and between-session tasks so they work in a person’s everyday routine.
