April DeJesus, LMHC

April DeJesus is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem. April aims to make the first step easier by creating a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Her approach centers on listening closely to each person's story and responding with practical steps. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what is happening now and what can change. April works to help clients name their emotions, see patterns in daily life, and try small, doable strategies between sessions.

She has additional experience addressing infidelity, concerns related to veterans and armed forces issues, and multicultural concerns. That background helps when clients bring complex life events and layered identities into therapy. April uses her years of practice to stay grounded and responsive rather than relying on jargon or a single method.

People who come for help with relationship tension or grief will find conversations that focus on coping and next steps. For anxiety and stress, she helps clients build habits that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Throughout, the work is collaborative: April and the client decide what to try and how to measure progress.

To begin, visitors complete a short questionnaire and match to a schedule that fits their needs. April encourages anyone who is nervous about starting to reach out and take that first step toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and present-day problems. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this is useful for anxiety and everyday stress. Another approach emphasizes learning small coping skills and routines that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning, which can help with grief and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means adjustments are expected as the client learns what helps most.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people schedule sessions during breaks or from different locations. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or audio-only contacts when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can help choose an approach and a format that fits daily routines and goals.
