About May
May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates an open space for clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are focused on clear conversation and practical steps that fit into daily life. May listens closely to what matters most to each person and tailors her approach to their goals.
Her work combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior. That mix helps people learn new coping skills and rehearse different ways of responding to difficult situations. She uses simple, concrete tools rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
Many clients come for help with parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, or major life transitions. She also supports people navigating forgiveness, HIV/AIDS concerns, end-of-life issues, obsessive or paranoid thoughts, and personality-related struggles. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent to the client.
May emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and track small changes. The goal is to build skills that feel useful outside the therapy room, so people can manage challenges on their own over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist reflects what a client says, validates feelings, and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach suits people who want a space to be heard and to sort out what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals and pick practical strategies.
