About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. April frames therapy around practical conversations and clear goals.
April trained first in scientific inquiry and completed a bachelor’s thesis in neuroscience. Early work as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field shaped her interest in behavior and eating patterns. That background also informed a long study of cultural diversity and holistic health approaches over three decades.
She uses client-centered talk therapy as the foundation of her work. April describes her role as a guide rather than an adviser. She focuses on helping people make choices that fit their values and life circumstances.
When a different technique seems useful, she may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also uses existential ideas and mindfulness practices at times to explore meaning and present-moment awareness.
Assessment interviews are used periodically to identify strengths and track needs. April emphasizes ethical practice, education, advocacy, and providing resources. She is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association and will look up information if a question falls outside her scope.
People who have worked with her have described her as warm, funny, and relatable. She aims to create a straightforward working relationship where progress is measured and steps are clear.
How her methods translate to online sessions
April uses client-centered therapy to shape conversations so the client’s perspective leads the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people choose goals that align with their values. It works well when someone wants practical talk and clearer decision-making.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and to build new coping behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense moments. Both approaches create concrete skills people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. April will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process lets you test what helps and adjust as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions so skill practice continues between meetings.
