About Robert

Robert May is an LPCC licensed in Kentucky with 13 years of clinical experience. He offers counseling for mood, anxiety, trauma, grief, and identity questions. His work often centers on workplace stress, life transitions, and issues important to LGBT people. He describes his style as warm, interactive, and reflective and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. It can mean client-centered work that follows the client's pace and priorities. It can also include mindfulness practices to steady attention and trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to specific goals. Robert tends to avoid stigmatizing labels and focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. He works with concerns such as stress, career questions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges related to attention and mood.

He has focused with the LGBTQIA+ community since 2020 and brings that experience to conversations about gender dysphoria, sexuality, and non-traditional relationship styles. He also supports people dealing with workplace problems, financial stress, multicultural concerns, and isolation.

People who prefer a straightforward, respectful conversation about practical change often find his approach helpful. He emphasizes short-term strategies when useful and longer explorations when deeper work is needed.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and priorities, creating space for them to set goals and lead sessions. It helps when someone wants a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about identity, relationships, or life direction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, sleep and eating problems, and coping skills people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying short-term, solution-focused work first or shifting into trauma-focused or mindfulness practices when deeper processing is needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some approaches translate well to brief, focused online meetings while others may unfold over longer conversations; the therapist will help match session length and frequency to what will work in daily life.
