Approach-driven online therapy tailored to your needs
Client-Centered Therapy in Robert May’s practice emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace; this approach supports self-exploration, identity work, relationship concerns, and life transitions by creating space for the client’s values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and offers practical tools to shift those patterns - it can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and habit change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices for regulating emotions and managing stress, which can complement other strategies and support day-to-day coping.Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Robert works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques rather than prescribing a single model, so treatment evolves with the client’s progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Robert can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage transportation or mobility constraints, and access consistent therapeutic support from a licensed professional regardless of location within the state.
