April Befort

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, I bring nearly a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience, insight, and compassion. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection—and that every person deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from FSU in 2010, where I focused on clinical practice and trauma-informed care. Since becoming an LCSW, I’ve worked across a range of settings including community mental health, hospitals, private practice, homeless & domestic violence shelters, post adoption agencies, and more, supporting clients through both acute crises and long-term growth.

Some areas I specialize in include:

Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders

Trauma recovery and PTSD

Grief and loss

Life transitions

Relationship and family dynamics

Self esteem and Self worth

Life Skills Development

I draw from such evidence-based modalities as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), evidence based trauma modalities such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based frameworks. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to better understand yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy and expertise.
