About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, depression, and relationship and parenting concerns. She uses practical, person-focused work to help clients take steps toward change.
May approaches each person as an individual rather than using a single method for everyone. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing among other methods to look at patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and to fit what each person needs in the moment.
She has about 15 years of professional experience supporting people through life changes, grief, trauma, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder and ADHD. She also helps with issues like anger, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related worries. Her background includes work with relationship challenges and family-of-origin matters as well as parenting and fatherhood issues.
May combines conversational work with targeted techniques and mindfulness practices when they suit a person’s goals. She often helps clients build everyday habits that support better sleep and steadier mood. Clients can expect clear, direct suggestions and space to talk through difficult experiences.
To begin, she asks people to share their story and goals so treatment can be shaped to fit. May emphasizes steady, practical progress and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.
How May's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. In this approach the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them identify goals and next steps, which can be useful for stress, relationships, and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete skills and short exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and daily coping.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for addressing distressing memories and how they affect current life. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and for reducing the intensity of painful emotions linked to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Ask about how visits are scheduled and what to expect in a first session so you can choose what will work best for your day-to-day life.
