Background and approach

Additional focus areas include forgiveness, issues related to HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorder symptoms. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are straightforward and nonjudgmental.

May encourages people to name goals, try small changes, and build on progress between sessions. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping.

Together these approaches aim to make daily life feel more manageable. May offers meetings by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

People can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to therapist availability.

How these approaches shape online counseling

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and responding with acceptance and empathy. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they most want to change, which can make goals easier to set and pursue.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. May will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If one way of working doesn't fit, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief communication between appointments. These options can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
