About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Her approach centers on listening closely to each person's story and tailoring methods to fit their needs. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
How May works
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are added tools to help people build skills and stay motivated. In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable steps. She works on practical strategies for sleeping and eating, managing anger, boosting self-esteem, and coping with mood disorders including bipolar and ADHD-related struggles.
She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and financial worry. May uses short-term goal setting alongside deeper processing work for trauma and grief. Her style is collaborative and focused on what a person wants to change.
People who need help with impulsivity, isolation, fatherhood issues, or forgiveness also find concrete steps to try. The therapist supports therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that matter. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and figuring out next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses concrete experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and eating habits, and manage mood symptoms. Clients learn practical tools they can use between sessions.
EMDR helps people process distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. It is used for trauma and abuse related symptoms and can reduce the intensity of painful memories while allowing new perspectives to develop.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, symptom patterns, and past efforts, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging can help people reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
