About April
April Justice is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also has an interest in adoption and foster care related concerns and attachment issues.
Her style is warm and calm. She aims to build a respectful working relationship and listens first to what matters to each person. Her approach is practical and collaborative; she works alongside clients to set goals and try methods that fit their life.
April draws on several therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and client-centered methods. She adapts the mix to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed plan. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.
Many clients seek help for women's health concerns like postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, fertility stress, and body image. April also supports people coping with chronic illness or pain, family of origin concerns, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
She emphasizes steady, practical progress and treats setbacks as part of the work. Her goal is to help people find sustainable ways to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want.
How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it often helps with panic, low mood, and stress by giving clear skills to practice. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust the plan as work unfolds.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins that are shorter when needed. It also lets people continue therapy through moves or periods away from Minnesota. Licensed professionals adapt worksheets, mindfulness practices, and behavior experiments for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
