About April
April Mullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and changes in life. She focuses on practical support for relationship and intimacy-related issues and on reducing compassion fatigue for those feeling drained. April writes and talks plainly so people can get started without feeling overwhelmed.
She uses a person-centered style that keeps the conversation focused on each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with clear goals and step-by-step plans. April also draws on emotion-focused work to help people understand and shift the feelings that drive their reactions. Her approach mixes practical skills with exploration of what people feel and need.
That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills for managing strong emotions. Therapy is paced to suit the individual and to build small, steady changes. April has 13 years of experience in behavioral health and brings a respectful, nonjudgmental manner to sessions.
She tailors tools and conversations to each situation, whether someone needs help with grief, relationship communication, or questions about gender and identity. Her aim is to help people feel more confident, connected, and able to move forward. People who prefer online formats can work with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The first steps are completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session to see if the fit feels right.

Online support
Emotion work and practical skills online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions so they can change patterns that keep them stuck. It is useful for relationship and intimacy struggles and for people who want to understand why they react the way they do.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and trust. It can help with abandonment and attachment issues by identifying patterns and building new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help people find their own answers and build confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. April will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts pace and techniques as the work moves forward so clients can test what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on usable tools and emotional growth.
