These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for April Vandiver. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
April is quick to understand what I'm saying while also asking thoughtful questions that help me uncover deeper meaning. I appreciate that she's focused on helping me make real progress rather than simply validating me or creating a long-term dependency. I genuinely feel like she's invested in my growth and wants to see results.
She shows up fully present in every session, and I never feel like outside distractions affect the quality of her care. Her counseling style really resonates with me—it's thoughtful, direct, and compassionate. I'm so grateful to have her by my side during this chapter of my life.

April actively listens when I am communicating with her. She restates what I just told to confirm that not only did she comprehend what I just said but also her having a clear understanding of my experience and expression of it so that we are on the same page and she is supporting the issues I want to deal with and work through. But that she is also supporting me the individual in my goals and journey.
She is extremely prompt. Manages call time well so that I know where we are in the session and we can reach a stopping or closing point so that I am not left hanging in the middle of an emotional moment.
She is the perfect blen of firm and completely supportive at the same time. I highly recommend her services.

What April lists as her specialties are her strengths. She’s really helped me get into some nitty gritty things I’ve wanted to work on in therapy for a while. She’s evidence based and views therapy within a holistic lens.

I've had three sessions with April and they were helpful from the very first time. She takes in an enormous amount of information and is able to somehow help me see patterns in my life and possible solutions. When I signed up for Betterhelp, I specified that I want somebody to challenge my thoughts and help me recognize this type of thing. April has surpassed my expectations on both fronts! I also really appreciate how active she is on the messaging feature. I have realized that some things are easier for me to type and I might need some time to craft my messages and let things sink in. Being able to access messaging has been super helpful and has made my therapy experience more effective. April is wonderful - highly recommend her!

April Vandiver has been a breath of fresh air! She’s has been my therapist for about 6 months. She listens attentively, takes meticulous notes, responds with honesty and care.
April helps me take a look at life — present and past — from different vantage points. She shares from her own experience as well as examples from other clients while keeping everything totally confidential. And she never overshares!
I’m amazed at the way she keeps in touch by sending messages or worksheets between sessions.
I highly recommend her!
Thank you April!

APRIL takes notes just because she has a few clients but I don’t think she needs to always because she’s such a good listener and has always the best questions that help you really think about what’s going on and how to basically take care of yourself. A true genuine, caring person in April!

I very much appreciate April’s attention to detail and her awareness of my affect. She has a positive attitude and and understanding of the impacts of life’s hardships. She helps in creating realistic and attainable small goals to help me work toward a desired outcome, even when my path is a little off she helps me focus in the right direction of self-awareness, self-reflection, and control or lack thereof and how to handle challenges and maintain my own boundaries, integrity, and self-worth.

April has been incredible with helping me work through some big issues that were getting in the way of me being able to be happy with myself and working on inner peace. I’ve worked with other therapists before and I feel like she’s been the only one that really listened to what I needed and she’s always, from day 1, been a great advocate of me and my well being.
