About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered talk therapy and believes kindness matters in the room. April talks plainly and helps people make choices that match their values and goals.
She uses client-centered work to build trust and to help people explore what matters to them. April also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when skills training or structured tools make sense.
Background and approach
These approaches are offered alongside mindfulness and existential perspectives when clients want to look at meaning, values, or present-moment coping. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Scientific Inquiry with a neuroscience thesis on brain signals that influence eating and behavior. She also worked as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field.
That mix of science and practical teaching shapes the way she explains issues and treatment options. April has worked with people recovering from addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and related concerns. ADHD is listed among her focus areas, along with relationship and family stress, impulsivity, and substance concerns.
She uses periodic assessment interviews to clarify strengths and track progress. April emphasizes ethics, education, and advocacy in her practice. She is active with the Texas Counseling Association and aims to provide down-to-earth support with clear explanations and real tools for change.
Approach and online care that fits your day
April combines client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a straightforward way. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the person and their values, letting them lead while the therapist listens and reflects. CBT offers structured tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and impulsive patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or intense stress is a concern. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Together these approaches give both a kind listening space and practical steps to try between sessions. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and teaching skills, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
