About May
May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship strains.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about what they are feeling without fear of being judged. Conversations are plainspoken and practical. The goal is to help people take small, clear steps toward feeling more in control and more hopeful.
How May works
May often uses methods that center the person and also tools that look at thoughts and behaviors. That combination helps clients understand their reactions and try new ways of responding to stress and difficult feelings. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on what matters most to the client.
She also works with issues like parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and coping with chronic health concerns including HIV and end-of-life matters. Additional focuses include forgiveness, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, paranoia, and personality disorder challenges. If someone is ready to begin, she helps them set practical goals and build skills they can use between sessions.
The approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language so people can apply what they learn to real life.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. The therapist aims to build a respectful, accepting space where people can talk about feelings and make sense of their experiences. This approach is often used for issues like grief, relationship stress, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In short sessions clients learn concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different actions. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, compulsive thoughts, and anger management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaboration helps shape practical plans to use during and between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can fit into a busy day, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep consistent progress while addressing stress, trauma, grief, and other concerns.
