April Clements

April Clements

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.

Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to explore my page. My name is Patricia Clark, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a doctoral candidate in traumatology, and the founder of D.I.V.A. Counseling & Consulting. For more than 10 years, I have walked alongside individuals, couples, families, and organizations as they heal from the weight of what life has handed them. If you have been doing everything right on the outside, showing up, pushing through, holding it all together, but quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you have lost yourself somewhere along the way, you are not alone. What you are experiencing is common today.

Life asks all of us to carry difficult things. I believe healing isn't measured by the absence of hardship but by our growing ability to carry it. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a PhD in Mental Health Counseling, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate chronic illness, evolving medical needs, the relational impact of major medical challenges, and all of the other parts of life because no one lives just to be a patient. I come to this specialty with both years of experience as a therapist supporting specific illnesses like cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and cancer as well as lifelong experience as a sibling to a brother with chronic illness. My role is to help you better understand what you're carrying, strengthen what helps sustain you, and build a life that feels meaningful even when life doesn't become easier. If you are navigating illness, its impact on your relationships, or simply a life that feels

heavier than it should, I would be glad to hear your story and to help you carry it.

Therapist

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I can be of assistance in developing a better understanding of symptoms while providing guidance to assist in decreasing the negative impact these symptoms may be having on daily life and relationships. Basically, you will learn strategies to address and diminish ongoing difficulties and barriers to becoming the best version of yourself.


My approach is collaborative with the individual or family, providing therapeutic pathways and education to promote existing strengths and abilities to sustain achieved outcomes long after counseling is completed. Because of my experience as an Adoption Worker and an adoptive parent, I offer specific supports in the area of adoption and complex childhood trauma. It s important that the individual and family receiving services know that I believe that they can overcome the challenges that bring them to counseling.

Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.
