About Charles
Charles May is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English.
Charles focuses on clear, practical conversation and goal-oriented work. He uses direct discussion to help people notice patterns that lead to outbursts or persistent resentment. He also helps clients develop steps to reduce panic, manage mood swings, and handle urges linked to drug or alcohol use.
His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means he listens to what matters most to the client, then uses straightforward skill-building to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change addictive behaviors.
He brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into sessions when past hurt keeps showing up in current reactions. In practice that looks like careful pacing, naming the link between past events and present responses, and trying small changes to interrupt old patterns.
Charles asks clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He notes that cost varies with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If readers want to begin, they should use the online therapy options button to complete the questionnaire and pick a time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters to the client and shaping sessions around those priorities. Online, this means conversations start with the client's goals and concerns and then proceed at a comfortable pace to address anger, anxiety, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change them. In remote sessions, CBT work can include practicing breathing or grounding exercises together, reviewing thought records, and setting short homework tasks to reduce rumination or aggressive reactions.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about changing an addictive behavior. In an online format it uses open questions and reflective listening to build readiness for small changes. This approach can help people move from frustration and avoidance toward practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is ongoing and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. These practical benefits often help people sustain steady work on anger, addiction, and mood problems.
