About April
April Zariczny - Nunez helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, addictions, intimacy concerns, anger, depression, and life transitions. She works with clients who also want coaching around compassion fatigue or to manage ADHD symptoms.
Background and approach
April is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Oregon and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. Her sessions are practical and down to earth.
She blends body-centered work with talk therapy so people can notice how emotions show up in the body. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to identify small, manageable steps clients can try between sessions.
April often includes elements of existential reflection, helping people find meaning and direction when life feels confusing or empty. She may also use guided hypnosis to support behavior change and to calm the nervous system when appropriate for a client’s goals.
Clients can expect clear explanations and concrete tools. She offers breathing and grounding practices, movement-based exercises, and short assignments that build new habits over time.
April shares research and resources so people better understand what they are practicing. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
She invites curiosity about what’s getting in the way and focuses on small shifts that improve daily functioning. April aims to help people reclaim energy, rebuild confidence, and move toward goals they value.
Approaches that combine meaning and practical change
April commonly uses existential therapy to help people name what matters to them and to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and direction when life feels uncertain. This approach can be helpful for people facing transitions, career confusion, or a sense of emptiness.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These tools are useful for anxiety, stress, and managing day-to-day triggers.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify their own reasons for change and to build motivation step by step. This approach fits well when clients want to tackle habits, addictions, or movement toward personal goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single technique for everyone. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and try guided practices together. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow ongoing reflection between appointments and quick access to coping strategies. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
