How her approaches translate to online therapy
April commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and stay engaged. This approach is conversational and works well when someone needs help building motivation for steps like quitting smoking or managing health routines.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when feelings are hard. ACT pairs well with mindfulness practices that teach noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if video is not convenient or lower bandwidth is needed. Ask about current session options when you schedule to find what works best. -
