    About May

    May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel better. May works with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and support during life changes.

    She uses Motivational Interviewing and client-centered approaches to help people find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of the methods she may use when past trauma affects daily life.

    In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and then builds small, manageable goals. Conversations aim to be straightforward and collaborative rather than prescriptive. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.

    May has worked across a range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and ADHD-related struggles. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin issues, and challenges common to young adults. These topics are addressed with practical skills and a steady, empathetic presence.

    She encourages people who feel stuck to take a first step and talk through what they want to change. The work in therapy centers on the person’s goals and moves at a pace that fits their life. If someone wants support to make concrete changes, she aims to offer clear options and steady guidance.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    May Meyer commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to build motivation for change. This method focuses on listening, asking open questions, and helping a person find their own reasons to try different steps. Client-Centered Therapy is another key part of her work and emphasizes being heard and respected while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

    Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are common, and the plan can change as work progresses to match what helps most.

    The practical value of online therapy is its flexibility for everyday life. It can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday or to meet without traveling. If you are interested in remote options, confirm which session formats are available before booking so they match your schedule and needs.
