About April
April Quigley is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with concerns like trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, and career stress. April offers straightforward support and practical tools to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She uses a person-centered view that treats the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - rather than only addressing symptoms.
Background and approach
April draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness-based work to calm the body and attention. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skill building.
April helps clients identify manageable steps, learn healthier coping, and practice new habits between meetings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to strengthen motivation and highlight progress. April holds licenses as an LPC and as an LCPC and has about 11 years of clinical experience.
She brings a strength-based approach and aims for steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. Her background includes varied settings where she supported people facing emotional distress and transitional stress. Away from work she gardens, hikes, bakes, and enjoys music and art.
Clients can expect a warm, practical style that balances listening with direct skill teaching.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
April commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can ease overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options add flexibility for scheduling, ongoing homework, and steady contact between meetings, while letting clients pick the format that best fits their daily life.
