Getting to know April Nattinger
PLEASE READ BEFORE SCHEDULING: Our office DOES NOT offer medication or psychiatric services, only counseling and therapy. We are a group counseling practice based in Jacksonville, FL, providing Telehealth services to Florida residents. To offer the best service, please schedule only if you are committed to attending and notify us in advance if you need to reschedule. A fee will be charged for missed appointments. We appreciate your understanding.
I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional distress. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and relational difficulties across medical, outpatient, and private practice settings. I am especially passionate about helping clients strengthen relationships, improve communication, rebuild trust, and develop deeper emotional connections.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in both Florida (MT4878) and Connecticut (0013110). I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fairfield University.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I have a particular focus on couples and relationship therapy. I help clients navigate communication challenges, conflict, attachment concerns, and trust-building. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed interventions, Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based, culturally responsive care.
I offer in-person and telehealth services in Florida, as well as telehealth services for clients in Connecticut, with weekday, evening, and weekend availability. I would be honored to support you in strengthening your relationships and achieving your personal goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, whether within themselves or in their relationships. You may be struggling with communication, emotional distance, trust, anxiety, or life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and respected.
I work with both individuals and couples, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and relational. For individuals, I help you gain insight, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. For couples, I help both partners better understand each other, improve communication, and rebuild emotional connection in a way that feels balanced and supportive.
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered, and I work alongside you to help you move toward lasting growth and healthier relationships.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work begins with understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope will improve. I take time to learn about your experiences, patterns, strengths, and goals so we can create a clear, personalized path forward.
For individuals, we focus on building insight, developing coping skills, and helping you feel more grounded and confident in managing emotions and life stressors. For couples, I help identify patterns in communication and emotional responses, and I guide you in developing healthier ways to connect, resolve conflict, and rebuild trust.
Throughout the process, therapy is collaborative and paced to your needs. I provide both emotional support and practical tools so you can experience meaningful, lasting change both within yourself and in your relationships.
