About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and people coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and issues connected to identity such as LGBT concerns and guilt and shame.
She uses several practical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions involve talking through personal stories and testing small changes that can alter daily habits. She also draws on client-centered work and mindfulness practices to slow things down and clarify what matters in the moment.
May often guides people through forgiveness and guilt-related concerns, and she supports those dealing with abandonment, family of origin problems, or fatherhood issues. She also helps with attention-related challenges like ADHD, mood swings, eating and sleeping difficulties, and anger or impulsivity. Practical problem-solving around money, career, and isolation is part of her focus too.
Her approach treats the person rather than a label. She aims to identify clear, achievable steps each session. Conversations are direct and respectful, with time set aside to review progress and adjust plans.
If you are thinking about starting, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so you can see how her way of working fits your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can define their own goals; it is useful when someone needs clarity about values or relationship choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces experiments and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or shift mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured sets of processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to early strategies, and then adapt methods to fit what helps most. That collaboration helps identify whether more CBT work, EMDR processing, or client-centered listening should guide sessions.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, let people use a shorter phone check-in when needed, or allow sessions without being on camera. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
