How May’s approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflects back what is shared so clients feel heard and can make sense of their feelings. This approach helps when someone is navigating grief, relationship strain, or emotional overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. May will work with clients to identify which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows more visual cues for in-depth conversations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or skills practice possible between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
