About Robert
Robert May is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. He began working as a therapist in 2011 and has focused on identity, mood and anxiety, trauma, and grief work.

His manner is described as warm and interactive. Sessions tend to be reflective and respectful, without relying on stigmatizing labels. Conversations and plans are adapted to each person's needs and goals.
Robert uses a mix of approaches in session. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. He also uses client-centered methods to keep discussions grounded in the client's experience.
Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tools are part of practical sessions when helpful. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting current functioning. The specific mix is chosen to match the issue at hand.
People often come for help with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, career and workplace issues, parenting strain, and identity-related topics. He also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and concerns around money and financial issues.
If someone is ready to begin, the recommended next step is to use the Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Robert aims to support people taking the first steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means conversations are paced by the person's needs and concerns, with the therapist reflecting what the client says and helping them find their own priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses concrete exercises to shift them. Online CBT often uses short take-home tasks, tracking sheets, and focused in-session practice to address anxiety, mood issues, or workplace stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity. These practices can be introduced during a session and then used between meetings to help with sleeping, stress, or emotional ups and downs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, comfort, and how problems show up day to day. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins or follow-up visits during a day off from work.
