About April
April Justice is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those coping with relationship or family tensions and life changes.
April brings a warm, calm presence to sessions and values respect, sensitivity, and integrity. She focuses on building a trusting relationship first, then works with each person to set practical goals. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors the approach to what fits the individual.
Her style blends several methods to match a person’s needs. April uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and choose meaningful action.
She also integrates client-centered and dialectical behavior techniques when helpful, especially for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Sessions are designed to be straightforward and usable in day-to-day life.
Based in Minnesota, April has spent many years helping people with women’s health concerns such as postpartum depression and pregnancy-related issues, as well as adoption, attachment, and fertility-related matters. She works with issues around chronic illness and body image and offers support for compassion fatigue and caregiver strain.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, panic, and decisions about meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to shift reactions and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. These practices often pair well with ACT and CBT for managing strong feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. April will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as goals evolve. For practical matters, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between sessions.Areas of expertise
