About Robert
Robert May is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. He has worked across mood and anxiety concerns, identity and trauma care, and has provided counseling in grief, relationship and intimacy matters.
Background and approach
Since 2020 he has concentrated work with the LGBTQIA+ community while continuing to support people dealing with stress, career questions, parenting challenges, and a broad range of mental health concerns including bipolar disorder and depression. His manner is warm, interactive, and reflective, grounded in respect and sensitivity rather than stigmatizing labels.
He draws on several evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered and mindfulness approaches, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work to shape individualized treatment plans. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and life circumstances, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical skills.
Robert frames therapy as a step toward greater fulfillment and resilience and aims to support clients through change with compassion and empowerment. Prospective clients are invited to begin when they feel ready to pursue new ways of coping and living.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Robert commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to shift behaviors and emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens and reflects to help people clarify their values and goals, supporting personal growth and self-direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration can include mixing techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan and adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to engage in therapy from locations across Kentucky without commuting, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
