About April

April Fitzpatrick is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and uses both conversation and creative activities to help people name what matters and take practical steps forward. April aims to make space for each person’s strengths and growth in a calm, encouraging way.

April’s practice centers on narrative work - looking at the stories people tell about themselves and finding new, more helpful ways to think about them.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, and cognitive behavioral tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support making specific changes. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds a Florida LMHC credential.

April has worked with people managing anxiety, depression, grief, negative self-image, and substance use, among other concerns. She combines talk therapy with art-making when words fall short, using creative exercises to reveal feelings and choices. Sessions with April tend to focus on practical next steps alongside reflection.

She listens for recurring themes and helps people try small experiments to see what changes might feel doable. The tone is collaborative and curious rather than prescriptive. Outside of sessions she leans into creativity and the pineapple metaphor - tough on the outside, layered and generative underneath.

April encourages clients to notice their own strengths and to make room for the parts of themselves they’ve been keeping out of view.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

April often uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then try different ways of framing those stories. This can be useful when someone feels stuck by labels or recurring themes in their life. She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used as needed, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce distress.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. April works collaboratively to decide which approach or combination will best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to adjust methods and to plan steps that feel doable for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between sessions.
