Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! My name is April Lacey and I am a licensed counselor in Illinois. Taking the first step to seeking a happier and fulfilling life takes courage. I am here to support you through that process. My vision for therapy is to create a safe and encouraging space for clients to share their experiences while recognizing their strengths to cope with life’s challenges.
I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings such psychiatric units, crisis lines, community mental health working with youth and families impacted by the juvenile justice system, and group practice. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, anger management, self-esteem, and parenting concerns. I use an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered, Trauma- Focused, Mindfulness, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help my clients.
My approach focuses on fostering a strong collaborative relationship with clients to reach their goals. I value genuineness and believe in meeting clients where they are, treating everyone with respect and compassion.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the way they connect that feels most comfortable, whether that is a video session, a phone call, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
All therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible and effective path to addressing common mental health and life concerns.
