About April
April Medici is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, parenting strains, and related challenges. Her work is grounded in practical conversations and clear steps people can use right away.
April began her career as a special education teacher and guidance counselor in New York City public schools. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in counselor education from the City University of New York. Those classroom and counseling years shaped how she talks with people who are overwhelmed or stuck.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused thinking. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing to help people change patterns that hurt their relationships or daily life. Narrative work is part of how she helps people make sense of hard events.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, helps name what matters most, and then practices small, repeatable skills together. That can mean testing a different way to respond when anger flares, working on communication at home, or breaking down a difficult decision into manageable steps.
April’s background includes long-term work with trauma and adversity. She treats grief, eating and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and substance-related problems as they come up in therapy. People who want clear, practical conversations about anger and relationship patterns often choose to work with her.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps surface what feels most important and keeps the therapist’s attention on the person’s priorities. This approach is useful for sorting through anger, relationship stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying triggers for anger, testing different responses, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness therapy can be added to help people notice their body and breath when tension builds, giving simple tools to calm a hot moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. April will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That collaboration helps adjust techniques if something isn’t working or if different skills are needed.
