More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 3 State: California

Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a huge step, and I'm sure you're wondering how this works and whether it's the right fit for you. I know I felt the same way when I first came to Better Help too.



My name is April Fernandez, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, from California State University of San Bernardino in 2013. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting and more. Over the past 10 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness. Sometimes another person, one who isn't in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support, that give us movement on a difficult situation when we feel stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging and live chat.

I look forward to working with you!

Bienvenido a Mejor Ayuda! Ha dado un gran paso y estoy seguro de que se preguntará cómo funciona y si es adecuado para usted. Sé que también me sentí de la misma manera cuando llegué por primera vez a Better Help.



Mi nombre es April Fernandez y soy una trabajadora social clínica licenciada en el estado de California. Obtuve mi Maestría en Trabajo Social de la Universidad Estatal de California en San Bernardino en 2013. He trabajado en muchos entornos diferentes con personas y familias que tienen una variedad de problemas personales como depresión/ansiedad, estrés, problemas familiares, trauma /abuso, adicciones de todo tipo, relaciones/crianza y más. Durante los últimos 10 años como médico clínico, mi experiencia me ha enseñado que el aspecto más importante de la consejería es la conexión y la comodidad que sientes con la persona que eliges para compartir tus luchas personales. Creo que todos podemos crecer a través de experiencias desafiantes aumentando nuestra autoconciencia. A veces, otra persona, que no está en nuestro círculo inmediato, puede ofrecer una perspectiva o apoyo adicional, que nos da movimiento en una situación difícil cuando nos sentimos estancados. Sería un privilegio ser esa persona para ti.

Puede enviarme un mensaje en cualquier momento a través de Better Help. La frecuencia con la que puede tener acceso a un consejero para trabajar con las emociones diarias y la resolución de problemas es extremadamente beneficiosa para la mayoría y un cambio agradable con respecto al asesoramiento ambulatorio tradicional. Normalmente reviso los mensajes dos veces al día, los siete días de la semana. Ofrezco mensajería y chat en vivo.

¡Espero con interes trabajar con usted!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
