About April
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience, April Nance focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and mood and attention challenges. She uses client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, and draws on existential and mindfulness methods when helpful. April emphasizes working with people who want practical strategies and clearer decision-making.
April began in research, studying neuroscience and brain signals related to eating and behavior. She later worked as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field. That background informs how she reviews evidence and tracks progress in sessions.
Her practice centers on client-centered talk therapy to build trust and encourage self-exploration. She describes her role as someone who does not give advice or judgment but helps clients make choices based on their own values and knowledge. She also uses assessments periodically to identify strengths and adjust goals.
When practical skills are needed, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to address mood, impulse control, anxiety, and addiction-related patterns. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are used to help people reflect on meaning, values, and present-moment coping.
April is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association and places high value on ethics, education, and advocacy. She also draws on over 30 years studying cultural diversity and holistic health ideas in her work.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the conversation. In practice this means sessions follow the client's concerns, build understanding, and clarify values to guide decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when impulsivity, strong mood swings, or difficulties with anger and relationships are present. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. That process helps match skills-based techniques to a person's situation rather than prescribing a single method up front. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical needs during the initial matching questionnaire and first session so sessions fit daily life and treatment goals.Sheet 3
