April Greene, LMHC

April Greene is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She has 14 years of experience and a practical focus on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting strains. She aims to meet people where they are and offers straightforward, respectful care.

Her sessions are trauma-informed and shaped around what each person needs. April uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work, and she draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when they fit. Conversations and skill-building are tailored to present challenges and everyday life demands.

She emphasizes clear plans and small, doable steps. That can mean learning coping skills for anger or anxiety, working on intimacy and communication, or finding routines to manage mood swings and bipolar symptoms. The focus is on practical change rather than jargon.

April says the first step takes courage, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens, offers tools, and adjusts the plan as needs change. People are encouraged to try techniques between sessions and bring back what did or didn’t work.

April began practicing after earning licensure and worked in New York before moving to Florida. Her background includes long-term clinical work with people affected by trauma and stress. She continues to blend talk, skills practice, and mindfulness to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term goals.

How April’s approaches translate to online work

CBT helps people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for managing mood shifts. DBT teaches skills for tolerating distress, regulating strong emotions, and improving communication. Those skills can be helpful for anger, relationship conflicts, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also allow people to use mindfulness exercises and skills practice between meetings, which supports steady progress over time.
