About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, self-esteem, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
April began in scientific research, studying neuroscience and behavior before moving into counseling. That background influences how she looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. She also spent time in the natural health field and has studied cultural diversity for decades.
Her main style is client-centered talk therapy. She focuses on building trust and working with each person’s knowledge and values. She avoids giving direct advice or judgment and helps people make choices that fit their life.
When skills work is useful, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas when those fit a person’s concerns. Periodic assessment interviews help identify strengths and track progress toward goals.
April lists addictions, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, interpersonal communication problems, and anger among her focus areas. She also notes work with codependency, impulsivity, eating and substance use issues, multicultural concerns, panic, and social anxiety. She is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association and emphasizes ethics, education, and advocacy in her practice.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
April often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people decide what matters to them. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that lead to anger or substance use.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT skills offer concrete tools for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and permitting sessions during breaks or evenings. Licensed professionals can also use structured skills practice and homework between meetings to reinforce what was covered in sessions.
