April Jones-Garrett

With over a decade of experience in social work, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s most complex and vulnerable transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, my clinical foundation is rooted in medical social work and the psychosocial impact of changes in health status. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment to medical conditions, and other life-altering stressors that affect emotional and behavioral well-being.

My clinical approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I view each client as the expert in their own experience and strive to create a therapeutic space that is supportive, empowering, and solution-focused. Whether working with individuals managing anxiety and depression, families adjusting to health changes, or elderly clients navigating complex systems of care, my goal remains consistent: to promote stability, resilience, and meaningful improvement in quality of life.

Your first session at A.J. Garrett Counseling and Consulting, LLC is designed to be a supportive, welcoming, and collaborative experience. During this time, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and identify your strengths, goals, and hopes for treatment. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in medical social work and mental health, I approach each session through a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and solution-focused lens. You can expect a safe, confidential space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we will begin developing a personalized plan to support resilience, stability, and meaningful growth.
