April Quigley, LPC, LCPC

April Quigley is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, and struggles around self-esteem and intimacy. April offers straightforward, practical help so people can move forward one step at a time.

Her style is person-centered and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with mindfulness and solution-focused tools woven in. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and uncovering patterns that keep problems stuck. She uses emotionally-focused techniques to help reduce overwhelming feelings and build steadier coping skills.

April brings 11 years of experience as a licensed clinician to her practice in Maine. She aims to treat the root of distress rather than only the surface symptoms. That means talking through habits and beliefs, then trying new behaviors between sessions.

In therapy with April, people can expect a collaborative pace and a focus on practical strategies. She helps clients set realistic aims and practices concrete steps to reach them. The work emphasizes gradual, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.

Outside of her clinical work she enjoys gardening, hiking, baking, music, and art. Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach that values everyday strengths and small moments of progress.

How online approaches and methods fit your goals

April uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Existential Therapy is used at times to look at meaning, values, and life choices when people feel stuck or face big transitions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. April will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that match those aims. Together they check what helps and adjust course so work feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These formats give flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives and different routines.
