April Nance

April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience supporting youth and adults navigating addiction recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, including work with individuals and families.

Her path into counseling reflects a long-standing commitment to the healing arts. Before becoming a therapist, she studied Scientific Inquiry and completed a bachelor’s thesis in neuroscience focused on brain signals that influence eating and other behaviors. She also worked as a Research Scientist and educator in the natural health industry, and she has spent more than 30 years studying cultural diversity and holistic health approaches. She believes people can create meaningful, positive change in their well-being when they have the right support, an empowering environment, and evidence-based interventions.

Guided by the motto “Kindness Matters,” April emphasizes client-centered talk therapy as a way to build trust, strengthen self-exploration, and support confidence and motivation. Her role is not to offer advice or judgment, but to help clients make choices aligned with their own knowledge and values. Depending on a client’s needs, she may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she uses periodic assessment interviews to understand strengths and track ongoing needs so therapy remains aligned with the client’s goals.

April approaches her work with a strong ethical foundation and values education, advocacy, and access to resources as essential parts of counseling. She is an active member of The Texas Counseling Association and brings a commitment to finding answers and helpful next steps when questions arise.
