About Heather
Heather May is a licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. Heather focuses on practical steps that can reduce worry and overwhelm. The tone is calm and respectful, with attention to each person’s unique needs.
Heather works with people affected by trauma and abuse and those trying to rebuild confidence after hard experiences. Sessions also address self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Heather listens first, then helps create short-term goals that feel achievable. Her approach blends conversational, client-centered care with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. That means conversations that reflect the client’s priorities, along with concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and small steps toward measurable progress.
Heather also uses narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe difficult stories and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. These methods are used together to suit the person in the room rather than following a rigid plan. People often come for help with body image, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood concerns, post-traumatic stress, or sexual trauma.
Heather aims to create a steady, practical process that helps people move forward at a pace they can handle. Heather is based in Florida and conducts sessions in English. The work is collaborative and focused on clear, usable strategies for day-to-day life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what is heard and helps people name what matters, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. It often includes short exercises between sessions to practice new skills and track progress.
Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation to take small steps. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress is made.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and caregiving demands.
