About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small steps that add up to real change.
She uses a mix of methods to suit each person. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and EMDR for processing distressing memories. Mindfulness and client-centered work also appear in sessions when they fit the goals.
Background and approach
Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. From there she and the client map short-term goals and simple strategies to try between visits. She explains ideas plainly and checks in often about what is and isn’t helpful.
May has worked with people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also helps people navigate career stress, caregiving burdens, and major life transitions. Her style is collaborative and respectful.
She invites people to bring their questions and doubts and works at a steady pace. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling based on availability, making the first step straightforward and manageable.

Approaches for online support and practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to set goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk and to feel heard before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and homework to shift thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT is useful for people wanting concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process troubling memories and reduce their emotional impact. In online sessions this can involve guided attention techniques alongside talking about the memory, and it can help people who are stuck on painful past events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and review progress regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions and get support without a scheduled call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other life demands.
