About April
April Mullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBT-related concerns, and cope with grief, loss, and major life changes. April focuses on building stronger self-esteem and improving intimacy and relationship challenges.
Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, build skills, and make choices that feel more satisfying in daily life.
Background and approach
April draws on Jungian ideas to look at personal meaning and recurring life themes. She also uses attachment-based work to address how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical skills are used when practical tools can ease strong emotions or worry.
People come to her for a wide range of struggles, including abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication breakdowns, and intimacy-related concerns such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, midlife shifts, purpose questions, and mood challenges. April offers straightforward guidance for difficult moments like divorce, hospice and end-of-life planning, and coping after disasters.
Conversations include exploring values, practicing new ways of relating, and developing coping strategies that fit daily routines. Her approach balances meaning-focused exploration with concrete skills. The goal is clearer self-understanding and practical steps toward feeling more grounded and connected.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
April blends Jungian exploration with attachment-based and client-centered ideas. Jungian work looks at recurring themes, dreams, and symbols to help people find meaning and direction during stress or life transitions. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and closeness, which can help with intimacy, codependency, and relationship communication. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance that supports people as they choose their path and set goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. April will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps you move forward. That collaborative process makes treatment practical and personally relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a workday. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and build skills within a busy life.
