April Nance, LPC

April Nance is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience supporting youth and adults, as well as individuals and families, as they work through concerns such as addiction recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Before entering the counseling profession, 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. Through this background, she has spent more than 30 years learning about cultural diversity and holistic approaches to health, while grounding her counseling work in evidence-based interventions. She holds the view that people can create meaningful, positive change in their well-being when they have the right support and environment.

Her motto, “Kindness Matters,” reflects a client-centered style that prioritizes a strong therapeutic relationship and a space for self-exploration, confidence-building, and motivation. Rather than offering advice or judgment, she focuses on helping clients make choices that align 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 identify strengths and stay aligned with each client’s goals.

Ethics, education, advocacy, and connecting clients with helpful resources are central to her work, and she is an active member of the Texas Counseling Association. When a question arises, she is committed to finding the information needed to support the counseling process.
