About Robert
Robert May is a Kentucky-licensed professional clinical counselor with 13 years of experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. As an LPCC he aims to meet clients with respect and compassion.
He offers straightforward conversations rather than jargon. Sessions are warm and interactive, and he listens first to understand each person's situation. He avoids stigmatizing labels and works to create a plan that feels useful and manageable.
Background and approach
Robert often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build healthier habits. He also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to support emotion regulation and clearer decision making. These tools are used to address things like grief, trauma, depression, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He has worked with LGBTQIA+ concerns since 2020 and attends to multicultural and identity-related stresses. Other areas he helps with include workplace struggles, life purpose, financial stress, and coping with major life changes. In sessions he blends short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns when needed.
That can look like coaching around immediate goals one week and slowing down to reflect on attachment or abandonment issues the next. He encourages small steps that fit into daily life and adapts the plan as things change.

How his approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions; sessions emphasize understanding, validation, and collaborative goal setting to address feelings around parenting, identity, or life change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day stress. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and emotions without getting swept away; it can reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful family moments.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Robert will start by asking about goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client try methods for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and practical for the person’s life and parenting role.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and direct conversation matter, while phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and flexible communication that fits into busy schedules. These options make it easier to get consistent support without long commutes or scheduling conflicts.
