About April

April Zariczny - Nunez helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, addictions, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She names compassion fatigue, coaching needs, and ADHD among areas she supports.

April is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - and also holds an Oregon limited license as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LIMFT. She works from a practical, person-centered stance that aims to meet each client where they are.

Background and approach

Her approach blends body-focused practices with talk therapy. She uses mindfulness and somatic tools to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. April also draws on solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to set small, doable goals.

Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool when appropriate and wanted by the client. Sessions include education and hands-on strategies. She shares resources and teaches skills people can use between sessions.

The tone is collaborative and grounded rather than heavily clinical. April trained and licensed in California and also holds an Oregon LIMFT credential. Her background includes yoga-informed practices and embodied mindfulness methods.

That training informs how she integrates mind and body work into therapy. People who work with April often get clear steps to try at home. She emphasizes gradual change and practical tools over complex theory.

The goal is to help people move toward greater wellness at a manageable pace.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, values, and life choices in plain terms. It helps when someone feels stuck or is rethinking what matters in life and wants space to weigh options and feelings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and learning to notice how emotions show up in the body.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on small, concrete steps toward change. It helps people clarify goals and find their own reasons to try new behaviors without pressure.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. April will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She adapts strategies over time based on what works best for the person.

Online therapy offers options that make regular care easier to keep up. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats increase flexibility so clients can use the methods and tools discussed in sessions from home or wherever they are.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
