About Gregory

Gregory May is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coaching.

Background and approach

He brings seven years of professional experience to his work and emphasizes creating a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings. Gregory approaches therapy with a practical, collaborative stance that helps clients break down challenges into manageable steps and build motivation for change.

His practice integrates several therapeutic perspectives, including cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices, to help people develop new coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns. Gregory also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to support clients in clarifying values and exploring meaning during difficult transitions.

He aims to meet each person where they are, encouraging courage and persistence while supporting practical progress toward a more fulfilling life.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Care

Gregory often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating space for clients to lead conversations about what matters most to them.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the client.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows therapy to fit into varied schedules and life circumstances. These remote formats can increase flexibility for people managing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
