About Bree
Bree May is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with 20 years in the helping field. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve day-to-day coping. Bree is straightforward and calm in sessions and aims to help people find clearer steps forward.
She takes a client-centered, interpersonal approach and adapts methods to fit each person. That can mean working on behavior changes, practicing communication skills, or exploring meaning and spiritual concerns when that matters to the client.
Background and approach
Bree pays attention to how relationships, attachment, and past loss affect present reactions. Common issues she addresses include panic and anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and the strain of life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt or shame, impulsivity, and loneliness.
Many clients seek help around divorce, control problems, or midlife transitions. Sessions are practical and goal-minded while leaving space for deeper work. Bree combines short-term strategies with longer-term reflection so people can manage symptoms and build the life they want.
She invites clients to voice their priorities and helps create steps that fit daily life. Her experience includes two decades of work helping people navigate tough periods and find more balance. Bree welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English, aiming to meet people where they are and help them move forward.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Bree draws on evidence-based techniques that are practical and focused on results. One common approach is behavioral work, which emphasizes changing habits and responses that keep anxiety or panic going. This helps with panic attacks, anger management, and daily stressors by teaching specific skills and new routines. Another thread of her work is interpersonal and relationship-focused methods that look at how attachment and communication shape feelings and reactions. Those methods help people improve interactions and reduce isolation or relationship-driven anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bree will discuss your goals, life context, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan so it stays aligned with your needs and what you find helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging give quick ways to check in between sessions or to work through short exercises. These options make it easier to keep consistent care while balancing daily responsibilities.
