About April
April Kouri practices from a client-centered perspective and brings 11 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. April also supports those coping with addiction, grief, parenting strains, and major life changes.
She earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, both from the University of Central Florida.
How April works
April holds an LMHC license in Florida and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, school, and residential settings. That background includes work with people facing eating disorders, process addictions such as problematic gaming or internet use, and chronic health conditions that make access to traditional care difficult.
April often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. She pairs that with solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals and track progress session by session. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel better and meet their goals sooner.
Her experience also covers caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and communication problems, body image and eating issues, and coping after separation or loss. She has provided services in school settings and has led groups on stress management, career development, and addiction recovery. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida.
April prioritizes working collaboratively so clients leave with new skills and clearer next steps.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
April combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the clients pace so conversations online feel supportive and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions and discussed during video or messaging work.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to narrow in on goals and small steps that produce change. This method is goal driven and well suited to online formats because it focuses on measurable progress and short-term strategies. Choosing the best blend of approaches is a collaborative process; April will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming a single method fits everyone.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break during the day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or when someone prefers written communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity between appointments.
