About May

May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and other life challenges. Her approach aims to make early steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She mixes practical strategies with space to tell your story. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often known as EMDR, as one tool when trauma and painful memories are part of the problem.

May listens first and then works with each person to build goals they care about. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what will help day to day. She often brings in mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in stressful moments.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change, whether that’s improving sleep, managing anger, or shifting relationship habits. Her work is grounded in practical steps that can fit into a busy life.

May’s background includes long-term practice across a range of mood and behavioral concerns, and she supports people facing grief, family-of-origin issues, parenting strain, and questions around identity. Starting therapy with her begins with a short matching process and scheduling based on current availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities, with the therapist offering listening, reflection, and support to help people make changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises and homework to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method some people use when trauma memories are causing ongoing distress; it involves guided processing aimed at reducing the emotional charge of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. May will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying CBT techniques for immediate coping, adding mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or using EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into everyday routines.
