About me

My name is April Cobb. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm here to assist, encourage and support you on your mental health healing journey. I create a supportive environment for clients to share, find acceptance and move towards the change and life you wish to see. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one approach I use in session. I believe in this approach because I believe if you can change your thoughts, your behavior will also change. I'm here to help you navigate the process.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can expect to feel they are in a space to share and this space is safe. Clients will know their thoughts and feelings are being heard and understood while also being encouraged to make changes if needed. I believe people grow when they feel safe and supported.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strength as a provider is building great rapport. My super power is creating a peaceful environment. I believe when people are comfortable and feel safe, sharing is made easier.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, relational conflicts, parents of disabled children and life transitions. I enjoying working with couples to improve communication and help them to develop healthy meaningful relationships.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I've used this technique with most of my clients because it is evidence based. I use this method to help people learn how to identify and change unhealthy patterns of thinking. I believe when you have healthy thoughts, you will have healthy behavior and a more quality life. This can be done by talk therapy, journaling, assignments that encourage monitoring thoughts.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I've used this approach for short-term therapy for clients who have a focus on future goals. I assist with identifying strengths and resources for the client to move forward. I used this technique to help clients move forward with goals instead of allowing the past to create stagnation.

Motivational Interviewing

I've used the approach to assess the desire and sometimes need to make changes in life. I practice empathy, provide support and help clients to see the discrepancy in what they want as opposed to the actions they are taking.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use this technique to educate and nominalize feeling the full ranges of emotions in a safe environment instead of denying emotions or avoiding emotions. I use emotion charts and emotion language to encourage clients to feel what they feel.

April is amazing. She actively listens to provide tools to ensure our "tool belt" is full so we can communicate in ways that work for us both! We always walk away feeling we have what we need to move forward.

She really listens genuinely and is so helpful when I need extra help reframing what I am thinking. I’ve had a lot go on in my life and sometimes I need another person to bounce my thoughts off of. Didn’t even know what I needed until I started talking to someone. But we are figuring it out together.
