About April

April Kouri is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical, goal-oriented care. She draws on a mix of talking, problem-solving, and skills work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. April aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first visit.

She brings 11 years of experience across residential, inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. That background includes work with people facing addiction, eating disorders, grief, trauma, and chronic health challenges. She also has experience supporting caregivers and addressing aging and geriatric issues as part of a broader practice focus.

April uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful and listening environment. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and make practical changes. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term planning and steps toward specific goals.

In session she often teaches coping skills, builds plans for behavior change, and helps people sort relationship and family stress. She has particular clinical interest in process addictions such as problematic gaming, internet use, and pornography and how those behaviors affect home life.

Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida. April also holds certification to work in school settings.

How her approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, creating a space where goals and values guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk things through and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT is useful for breaking down problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete changes and measurable goals. It is helpful when someone wants clear short-term progress and tools to move forward quickly.

April views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Together they check what works and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support ongoing work between appointments. Ask about the available session types when you match and schedule to pick what suits your routine best.
