About May
She practices in Florida and draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That approach means sessions are shaped by the client's needs and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes to reduce distress.r>
May also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to teach practical skills for emotion regulation and staying present. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck and need help finding momentum for change. These methods are used together to address issues like self-esteem, sleep difficulties, grief, and relationship strain.r>
The work typically includes talking through current problems, learning coping strategies, and setting small, achievable goals. Clients can expect clear feedback and step-by-step ideas to try between sessions. May emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.r>
Her background includes supporting people facing trauma, parenting challenges, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. She provides care in English and does not accept international clients.
