About April
April Schroeder, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression, and she frames her work in plain terms: helping people talk through difficult emotions and situations and find practical ways to move forward.
She offers a direct, conversational approach in sessions. April encourages open discussion of thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes practical steps and problem-solving alongside emotional processing. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Her background includes a decade of work with adults facing mood disorders and anxiety, including panic attacks and social anxiety. She has also supported people dealing with post-traumatic stress and the effects of abuse. Attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, separation and divorce, and struggles with guilt or isolation are additional areas she addresses.
In appointments she focuses on clear goals and observable changes. April uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday difficulties. She helps people develop tools for managing panic, regulating mood, and improving communication in strained relationships.
Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and planning small steps to test change between meetings. She asks about current concerns, daily routines, and what has or has not worked before. Her aim is to help people leave sessions with one or two practical actions to try before the next meeting.

How April Schroeder uses evidence-based approaches online
April uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily problems. One common approach focuses on skill-based work to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce acute distress. Another approach centers on processing trauma-related experiences through paced conversation and stabilization skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right method happens together. April will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed over time.
