About May

May Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods in her practice. She draws on 15 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach blends practical skills-building with attention to personal history so clients can move toward meaningful change. She integrates techniques such as EMDR and mindfulness-based strategies as needed, tailoring sessions to each person's goals rather than relying on a single format.

Meyer attends to a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, mood and attention concerns, and challenges tied to family dynamics or identity. Meyer frames early steps toward change as courageous and offers supportive collaboration to help clients shape the future they want.

Availability is offered during morning and evening time blocks on select weekdays and limited Saturday hours to accommodate varying schedules. Prospective clients in Pennsylvania who prefer English-language sessions can begin by completing the platform matching process and booking according to listed openings.

Practical therapy approaches for online care



May Meyer combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR along with client-centered techniques to address emotional and behavioral concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and sensations using guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and support healing for those with traumatic experiences. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the therapist and client work from the client’s own goals and experiences to shape treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Meyer aims to collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, combining skills training, processing work, and supportive reflection to create a plan that feels workable and aligned with the client's priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across different routines, while preserving regular contact with a licensed professional to progress toward treatment goals.
