About April
April Pichon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of counseling experience and a total of 15 years in social work. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with people facing cancer, caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, postpartum depression, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Her sessions are conversational and client-centered. She uses practical, evidence-based tools and invites clients to talk through what matters most to them. Expect direct discussion of thoughts, behaviors, and small actions you can try between sessions.
April blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps address both current habits and deeper patterns that affect relationships and parenting stress.
She frames work around real-life goals like managing anxiety, coping with loss, or adjusting to major life changes. Sessions focus on clear steps and realistic strategies, not jargon. The pace tends to match the person seeking help.
April is based in Texas and works in English. Her LCSW credential is listed as TX LCSW. To begin, readers are asked to use the provider's online matching tools and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
How sessions work
How April uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which is useful for stress, low mood, and parenting-related patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple exercises can help calm the body and make it easier to respond rather than react in tense moments at home.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. April will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative planning can change as progress is made or as life circumstances shift.

In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use online sessions to practice new skills between visits and to follow up on goals without requiring in-person visits.
