About May
She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client's goals. May listens for practical steps that can reduce immediate distress and build confidence over time.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are used to increase self-awareness and strengthen motivation for change.
May has worked with people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and workplace stress. She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT-related issues, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.
Practical coping strategies, clearer communication skills, and realistic goal-setting are common threads in her work. She partners with clients to build routines that improve sleep, reduce overwhelm, and make progress on career goals.

How May's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions give space for this listening and for setting goals driven by the client's priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions to spot patterns that cause distress. In remote sessions, CBT techniques can be taught and practiced between meetings to improve mood and tackle career or anxiety-related challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Learning DBT techniques online can make it easier to try emotion-regulation exercises and then discuss what worked during follow-up sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work on skills between meetings and keeps the same pace of goal-setting and progress tracking as in-person care.
