Background and approach
Relationship concerns and self-esteem issues are common topics she addresses in sessions. May blends a client-centered style with goal-focused techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy.

How May's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support while helping people identify what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for building trust and clarifying goals in sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises and steps to try between meetings, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and ease parenting stress. CBT works well for clear, goal-oriented concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide whether a listening-centered style, CBT techniques, or a mix makes the most sense based on needs and preferences. Goals, progress, and adjustments are discussed openly so the plan fits the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are convenient and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick coping suggestions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and different daily routines.
