Getting to know April Gibson
Hi, I'm April Gibson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. I genuinely care for my clients and work diligently to help them manage, cope, and identify tools they can use immediately, ultimately guiding them to find the answers they seek.
My approach
My philosophy is that individuals already have the skills to create change in their lives and sometimes need help to identify and develop those skills. My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, collaborative, and compassionate. It incorporates a combination of Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
My focus
I have experience working with interpersonal and problematic relationships, family conflict, depression, anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders, substance dependency and abuse, trauma, life transitions, and grief and loss.
My communication style
During sessions, I encourage clients to develop a vision of their desired future and offer support as they determine what's needed to achieve that vision successfully.
My goals for you
I use a collaborative approach to goal setting, assist clients in identifying their strengths and available resources, explore exceptions, and encourage setting goals that are both reasonable and achievable.

April is amazing! She is so patient with me and has allowed me to work through a few issues I have had for great reflection and also acting as a great guide on many things I needed to process emotionally. I highly recommend April as a therapist if you're ready to do the work on your end!

I love my sessions with April. She listens, doesn't judge, makes you feel comfortable, and makes you think about what and why has happened, happened. She makes me comfortable to be myself and to express myself freely. Some sessions are harder than others but that is what therapy and healing is about.

April is a straight shooter, and that’s one of the things I appreciate most about her. She is honest, direct, and willing to tell me what I need to hear, even when it may be uncomfortable. She holds me accountable and challenges me to look at things from different perspectives, while also creating a space where I feel supported and heard. I really value that balance and I’ve appreciated her ability to meet me where I am while still encouraging me to grow.

I have recommended April to friends. April’s approach to helping others is professional and caring, but honest and not patronizing. Her ability to understand her client and their needs is exactly what I needed. She doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear but instead gives me what I need to hear. It’s refreshing to have help that isn’t sugarcoated textbook information - it is actually a direct response to what I’m going through. April and I have covered some deep pain and serious conflict, and while it is hard to do, I trust that I am in good hands with her.
