Background and approach

Her background includes work with adults facing substance use and complex trauma. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress and workplace strain.

May Ann uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can mean acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action, attachment-informed work to address early relationship patterns, or practical skills from dialectical behaviour therapy for intense emotions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

She works in English and provides care in Australia. May Ann encourages people to bring what matters most to the room. The focus is on clearer choices, small changes that add up, and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

How online therapy matches different approaches

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It focuses on small values-based actions so anxiety and avoidance have less control. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses clear, structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try ideas together to see what fits. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that suits each person's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people read facial cues and practise skills in real time. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress or doing quick homework between meetings. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
