April Pomerlyan, LCMHC

April Pomerlyan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She frames counseling as a partnership, saying the client is the expert on their life while she brings mental health expertise. Early sessions focus on getting to know what matters to the client and the goals they want to reach.

Her style is warm and professional. She leans on strength-based work and asks about clients' values to shape the plan. April uses an integrative approach and adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than following a single set of steps.

Two approaches she commonly uses are Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work uses reflection to help people process feelings. CBT examines thinking patterns and helps replace harmful thoughts with more helpful ones.

April also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they suit a client's needs. She explains any approach she plans to use and invites questions so people understand why a method might help.

She helps people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions. April also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and several other focused areas.

Her welcoming approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skills. New clients can expect clear explanations, reflective listening, and concrete strategies to try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

April commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection to help people name and process their feelings, which often makes it easier to decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking that may lead to unhelpful emotions or behaviors and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. April collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant to what the person needs.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and let someone join from wherever they are. If particular session arrangements matter to you, ask about them when you complete the initial matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
