About Robert
Robert May is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to identity and sexuality. He also helps with parenting strain, relationship communication, workplace stress, and issues like ADHD and anger.
He has provided identity counseling and has focused on the LGBTQIA+ community since 2020. His sessions are described as interactive and reflective. Conversations are meant to be respectful and free of stigmatizing labels. He uses a mix of practical strategies and conversational therapy to address what brings someone in.
In sessions he draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and habits. He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective and mindfulness practices to help with stress and emotional regulation. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and track small changes.
People who come to him for parenting-related stress will find straightforward ways to manage daily demands. Those dealing with identity, intimacy, or relationship friction can work on clearer communication and boundaries. He also addresses more specific areas like attachment concerns, kink and alternative sex culture, and financial or workplace stress.
Conversations lead to practical next steps rather than labels. Robert frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work. He asks about values and day-to-day routines and then practices skills together during sessions.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Robert uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's perspective and goals. This style means conversations start from the individual's experience and priorities, which can make online sessions feel focused and practical.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress, and it lends itself to clear exercises and between-session tasks that transfer well to online formats.
Mindfulness practices are part of his toolkit for emotional regulation and managing stress. Simple breathing or grounding exercises can be learned in a session and practiced between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. He works with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals and situation, and adapts plans as needs change. That collaborative stance helps shape session pace, targets, and practice tasks.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow short check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time. Therapists can also assign concrete exercises to practice between sessions so progress continues outside meetings.
