About Tori
Tori Mays is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, career concerns, and related struggles such as depression, grief, and problems with self-esteem. Tori aims to work with people who feel weighed down by shame, guilt, self-doubt, or insecurity and prefers a collaborative approach in sessions.
Tori has worked with people facing substance use, anxiety, depression, assault, spiritual questions, ADHD or ADD, and life transitions. She also addresses practical issues like career confusion and workplace stress. Her listed focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic, self-love, social anxiety, and young adult issues.
In session she uses a variety of evidence-based techniques chosen to fit the person and their goals. That can mean mixing skills practice, problem-focused conversation, and reflective work to understand patterns that keep someone stuck. The overall aim is to help people notice what is keeping them weighed down and try different ways of responding.
Tori describes the work as collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and offers guidance informed by the person’s story. People who like a mix of practical steps and deeper reflection may find this approach useful. She asks clients to participate in shaping the plan for therapy.
Sessions are conducted in English and Tori does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
Therapeutic methods and how online sessions can fit
Evidence-based techniques often include skills-based work that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety and panic. This approach focuses on short exercises and strategies a person can use during stressful moments and between sessions to reduce overwhelm and regain control.Another common method is reflective, talk-based work that looks at patterns in relationships and self-view. This helps clarify how attachment, shame, or life transitions have shaped current thinking and behavior, and supports trying new responses to old patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means adjusting techniques as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins during work breaks or between commitments. They also permit sessions without needing to be on camera if that helps someone begin the work.
