About April
April Pichon is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and low self-esteem.
April also focuses on issues linked to serious health events, including cancer, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and smoking or vaping cessation. Her practice favors straightforward conversation and concrete steps rather than long lectures. She listens, identifies patterns, and helps people try different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions typically include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and building practical coping strategies.
April describes her style as interactive and respectful. She works with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time. The focus is on what can change now and on small, repeatable practices that fit daily life.
People who want structured, practical work on thoughts, habits, and everyday stressors often find this approach useful. To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns so sessions can concentrate on realistic next steps and measurable improvements.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
April uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on the link between thinking patterns, feelings, and actions, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without letting them dictate behavior. ACT is useful for work on values, committed action, and handling ongoing stress. Client-centered methods keep the conversation grounded in the person’s priorities and pace, allowing practical goals to emerge from what matters most to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. April will review goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust based on what helps. That means clients and therapist decide collaboratively how to balance skills practice, mindfulness, and values-based steps.
