About May
May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the ripple effects of trauma and loss. May aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming and more doable.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at understanding the everyday problems that get in the way.
Background and approach
She works to help people feel heard and more in control of their choices. May uses practical techniques drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions often pair supportive listening with clear tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.
That mix helps people handle intense feelings and reduce repetitive patterns that cause stress. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, forgiveness questions, and the long-term effects of illness or end-of-life care. Additional areas of focus include obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and complex personality concerns.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Clients can expect straightforward goals, concrete steps between sessions, and a focus on skills that fit daily life. May believes steady, small changes add up to real improvement.

How May's Approaches Fit Online Care
May uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience, offering active listening and empathy while letting the client guide the pace and topics of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings like grief, anger, or relationship strain.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, depression, and repetitive behaviors such as obsessions or compulsions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to pick methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
