About Robert
Robert May is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and questions around identity, including LGBTQIA+ issues. Robert also helps with relationship and career concerns and problems that affect daily functioning such as sleep, eating, and anger.
He describes his style as interactive and reflective. Sessions are conversational and practical. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Robert uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He uses client-centered work to focus on what the person brings into the room. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear when people want tools to manage stress or see quick, specific changes.
When trauma or deep loss is part of the picture, he brings trauma-focused approaches into the work. That means attending to safety, pacing material, and building coping skills alongside processing difficult memories.
He has worked with LGBTQIA+ concerns since 2020 and names identity work as part of his practice. People seeking help for anger, grief, depression, or life transitions will find straightforward, skills-based sessions that aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Robert commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in his work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain stress or anger and teaches concrete strategies for new habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during tense moments.He also relies on client-centered therapy, which means conversations are guided by the person’s priorities and lived experience. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. He will help identify which methods match a person's goals and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend from a convenient location. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply skills between sessions without promising particular services.
