About April
April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She focuses on practical, talk-based work that helps clients make choices aligned with their values. Her style is warm and straightforward, built around kindness and respect.
April draws on Narrative and Client-Centered approaches to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools when needed to teach coping skills and manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Before counseling, April studied Scientific Inquiry and completed a bachelor’s thesis in neuroscience on brain signals related to eating and behavior. She later worked as a research scientist and educator in the natural health field.
That background informs her interest in behavior, habits, and culturally aware care. In sessions she uses periodic assessment interviews to spot strengths and track progress. She avoids giving advice or judgment and instead helps people explore options and make choices that fit their lived experience and goals.
April emphasizes education and resource-sharing as part of therapy. April practices in Texas and is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association. She speaks English and brings a focus on multicultural concerns, life purpose, and practical skills to support lasting change.

How narrative and skills-based therapy work online
April blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then reframe those stories to support healthier choices and meaning. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their values and goals. CBT offers simple, practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily realities, then try methods that fit. Together they check what works and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and grounded in the client’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a camera is not wanted. Live chat or text can work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different situations.
