About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, trauma, sleep and eating issues, and self-esteem.
May blends straightforward talk with practical steps. Sessions often start by identifying the problems that feel most urgent. From there she helps set small goals and tests approaches that feel doable.
Background and approach
She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral work and EMDR alongside client-centered conversation and mindfulness exercises. Her style is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. She checks in about what’s working and changes course when something doesn’t fit.
Common tools include thought records, grounding techniques, and short behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. May has worked across a range of stressors and mood concerns over her career. That background informs how she helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck.
She also brings experience with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and challenges tied to family of origin and caregiving stress. For someone seeking help with anger or feeling overwhelmed, she focuses on concrete skills and steady progress. May aims to help people build better routines, clearer communication habits, and more reliable ways to manage strong emotions.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In online sessions this looks like space for the client to tell their story while the therapist helps clarify priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills such as spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors; online work often includes short exercises and homework to practice between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of painful memories; in remote sessions the therapist guides the process step by step and adapts pacing to the person's needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals, preferences, and response to treatment. Sessions are collaborative - adjustments are expected as progress is tracked and different tools are tested.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are helpful for people who prefer brief, written exchanges or need flexible touchpoints during the week. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
