About April Pomerlyan
April Pomerlyan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience supporting individuals through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and a wide range of other life difficulties. She approaches counseling as a collaborative partnership, combining clinical knowledge with respect for each person’s lived experience and values. April prioritizes early sessions for learning about a client’s history, strengths, and goals so that treatment can be tailored to meet specific needs.
Her therapeutic style is warm yet professional, grounded in strength-based work that highlights resilience while addressing obstacles. She uses an integrative framework, drawing on several evidence-informed methods to fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Two approaches she frequently uses are client-centered therapy, which emphasizes reflection and empathy to help people process thoughts and feelings, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which examines unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns when they contribute to low mood or distress.
April also considers additional techniques when they may benefit a client and explains them clearly so clients can make informed choices about their care. As a licensed professional (NC LCMHC 11996), she aims to help people develop tools for long-term self-care and meaningful change, guiding the work with compassion and practical direction.

Integrative approaches for online counseling
April frequently uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and reflection to help people explore their feelings and values, making it useful for building self-understanding and emotional clarity. CBT is a skills-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift those thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. April works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she explains options clearly so clients can participate in shaping the plan for their care.
Online therapy with April can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage appointments around work or family commitments, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
