April Lacey
(she/her)
Welcome! My name is April Lacey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I see clients coping with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. My approach focuses on fostering a strong collaborative relationship with clients to reach their goals. I value genuineness and believe in meeting clients where they are while treating everyone with respect and compassion.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session together, you can expect us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you have been feeling recently and asking further questions about you, to get to know you better. This can assist with working on creating the initial connection and providing me with insight into what your goals may look like as we continue our work together.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I use an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered, Trauma- Focused, Mindfulness, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Strength-based Interventions, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help my clients.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I would describe my communication style as welcoming, calm, and encouraging. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental, and encouraging space for clients to share their experiences and thoughts in session. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their authentic selves in session as I believe this is an important element of our work together.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Often the clients I see are adults and teen populations that deal with life transition challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, defiance issues, relationship concerns, and work stress. In my years of experience, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings such as psychiatric units, crisis lines, and community mental health agencies with youth and families impacted by the juvenile justice system.
