About April
Dr. April Brewer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and many other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings to notice patterns and test new habits.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused methods. That means she pays attention to thoughts, feelings, and interaction patterns, and works with clients to change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox for building small, manageable shifts.
Dr. Brewer has a Doctor of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University and multiple master's degrees from Bellevue University. Her background includes work as a U.S. Air Force medic, a psychometrician, court-based behavioral health roles, Veterans Affairs mental health work, military and family life counseling on Department of Defense installations, and private practice. This range informs a practical approach to coping, communication, and daily routines.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation, behavioral experiments, brief skills practice, and problem-solving. Parents often bring specific routines or conflicts to work through, and she breaks these into steps people can try outside sessions. For those facing loss, addiction, chronic illness, or attachment concerns, she focuses on concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Brewer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.

These approaches help with relationship conflict, parenting concerns, and coping after loss or trauma.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting direction as progress or obstacles appear.
