About Charles
Charles May is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, anger, and mood challenges. He works with people facing depression, grief, low self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns. He aims to make starting therapy straightforward and supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
He keeps sessions direct and respectful. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the person in front of him. Charles adapts the pace and focus to each person’s goals, whether that means reducing panic attacks, cutting down substance use, or finding better ways to handle anger.
Background and approach
His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build more effective coping skills. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help finding the drive to change addictive behaviors.
Charles brings three years of professional experience as an LCSW in Texas. That background includes supporting people through post-traumatic stress and addiction recovery. He emphasizes clear, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
Sessions are meant to be practical. Expect focused conversations, skill-building, and planning that fit day-to-day life. Charles guides people through small, measurable changes and helps them track progress over time.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Charles uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s perspective at the heart of each session. That approach means conversations follow what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood while deciding what to address first.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses for anxiety, panic, anger, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach happens together. Charles will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the person’s goals and feedback. The process is collaborative and paced to match readiness for change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates, skill practice, or support between more formal sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and recovery tasks.
