How May's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on actions that fit a person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments and tracking to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, mood disorders, sleep, and compulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. May collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adjusts tools and pace based on what is helpful, so the plan evolves as progress happens.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style coaching, or when someone wants ongoing written support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
