About Tori
Tori Mays is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, or low self-esteem. Tori approaches sessions as a collaborative process where the client and therapist work together toward clearer goals.
Her practice centers on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness.
How Tori works
Tori has experience addressing panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace difficulties, and challenges common to young adults. Tori adapts her approach to each person's needs. She uses a variety of evidence-based techniques chosen to fit the individual rather than one fixed method.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with practical steps a person can try between meetings. People who choose Tori often want a therapist who listens first and guides next. She aims to create a space where clients can talk through hard feelings and begin making small changes.
Her work often includes building self-compassion, managing panic or anxiety, and strengthening communication skills. Her background includes helping clients with substance-related concerns, experiences of assault, spiritual questions, and career confusion or transitions. Tori highlights personal strengths while working toward a more hopeful sense of direction.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Tori draws from several evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's situation. One common approach focuses on short-term, goal-oriented strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms by teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management skills. Another approach emphasizes exploring thoughts and feelings that underlie low self-esteem and guilt so people can build self-compassion and clearer self-image.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tori will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then suggest methods that match those needs. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can work well when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping consistent momentum.
