About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or facing major life changes. Her work includes support for relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and financial stressors that affect daily life.
She uses several practical approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR to help people make changes. Sessions focus on the person's story and on concrete steps that move them toward the future they want. Meyer frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's goals guide the work.
People meet her for a range of concerns such as mood disorders, attention challenges, and struggles with self-esteem or anger. She also supports those coping with loneliness, caregiver strain, fatherhood issues, and money and financial issues that create stress and uncertainty. Her interest in family of origin and communication problems informs how she approaches relationship struggles.
Meyer blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and find motivation to try different behaviors. EMDR is used when past events continue to cause intense distress. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She invites a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. The first step is a brief matching process and scheduling a time to begin. Meyer aims to help people build realistic tools they can use between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's values and goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps the person choose what to work on next. This approach helps when people need a supportive space to clarify decisions and feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep or anger. These skill-based tools translate well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address painful memories that keep causing strong reactions. In remote work it involves guided processing paired with therapist coaching to help reduce the intensity of distress tied to specific events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh options and choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision helps make therapy feel useful and manageable.
