About May

May Reinert is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on trauma-informed care and practical support. She holds the LMHC credential and the LPCC credential and brings seven years of clinical work to sessions. May aims to make conversations straightforward and approachable for people under stress or facing big life changes.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people talk about painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when clients want clear steps to change thoughts, reactions, and patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with overwhelming emotion and sleep trouble.

May has helped people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and identity questions including LGBT issues. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, abandonment, adoption-related concerns, fertility stress, and first responder issues. Her approach blends practical skills with steady emotional support.

Sessions focus on the person in front of her. May works to build a working plan together that fits daily life and immediate needs. She encourages small steps - skills to use between sessions and ways to measure progress.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through current struggles, identify patterns that cause pain, and try new strategies. May emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and tools that people can use right away.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult events in small, manageable steps and can reduce the power of painful memories over daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which tools to try first and how to adapt them as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy helps sessions fit into busy lives by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions, bring examples from daily routines into conversation, and check in with short follow-ups when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered and to pick times that suit personal schedules.
