April Medici, LMHC

April Medici is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City and later moved into mental health counseling. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and other life changes.

Her early work in schools shaped a practical, problem-focused approach. April uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

She describes trauma work as personally meaningful and incorporates trauma-informed concepts when relevant. Sessions emphasize building a working relationship first, then addressing specific behaviors, thoughts, or situations that cause trouble. That can include working on communication, coping skills, or managing strong emotions like anger.

April also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe difficult events and take small, concrete steps forward. Her background in education and counseling informs a structured yet conversational style. Clients can expect practical tools, clear feedback, and attention to real-life constraints like work or parenting schedules.

She trained at the City University of New York, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counselor education. Her pathway from classroom work to clinical practice shapes a focus on skills people can use day to day.
