Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to pinpoint unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that produce real differences. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who are processing trauma and painful memories. Sessions move at a practical pace.

Clients can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper work when needed. May helps people make a plan for stress, relationships, parenting challenges, sleep or eating concerns, and other day-to-day struggles. Her background includes years of clinical practice in Pennsylvania and a focus on mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and issues tied to family of origin.

She also supports people wrestling with intimacy, self-esteem, anger, caregiver strain, and financial stress. May frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She helps people set goals, try new coping skills, and track progress.

The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach begin by identifying immediate priorities and shaping each meeting around them, which helps with stress, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try specific changes. In online work this often means setting small experiments between sessions, tracking how new habits affect anxiety or sleep, and using video or messaging to review progress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when people need help processing traumatic memories. When appropriate, EMDR can be adapted to video sessions with careful pacing and step-by-step guidance to reduce distress tied to past events.

Choosing the right approach is a team decision. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match tools to real problems and preferences.

Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when a written record of thoughts is useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity between sessions.
