April Kouri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical, goal-oriented care. She centers sessions on each person's needs and uses straightforward techniques to help with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns.

She draws on eleven years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, school, and residential settings. That background includes supporting people with eating disorders, addictions, process addictions like gaming and internet use, and grief.

How April’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying specific, practical exercises to change behavior and mood. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and small steps that move someone toward their goals. It's practical and forward-looking, often used when people want faster, action-oriented progress on things like communication or coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and help decide what fits best based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
