About May
May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, mood and attention concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.
She uses practical, problem-focused methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR alongside client-centered conversations. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, try new responses, and build skills for everyday situations. Work is straightforward and focused on small, workable changes rather than abstract concepts.
May often combines mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice their patterns and commit to steps that fit their goals. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set concrete, short-term objectives and track progress. These approaches are used together to address issues like sleep and eating problems, anger, isolation, and career-related stress.
She has worked across a range of concerns related to family of origin, communication problems, caregiver stress, and young adult transitions. Her practice includes attention to complex mood disorders and symptoms tied to ADHD and bipolar conditions, while addressing related struggles such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, and abandonment concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect a clinical approach that emphasizes collaboration and measurable steps. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling options before booking so they know how they will meet with her.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT is described plainly as noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors to change unhelpful patterns; it is used for anxiety, sleep and eating problems, mood concerns, and daily stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their experience and decide what to try next. EMDR involves guided attention to distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.Figuring out which method to use is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked and new targets emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people use therapy more consistently while they try techniques such as CBT worksheets, EMDR exercises, or mindfulness practices during sessions.
