Charles May

Charles May is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

He keeps conversations practical and focused on the client's goals. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation, with plain language and clear steps rather than jargon. He emphasizes collaboration and meets clients where they are in the process of change.

Charles uses a mix of methods grounded in client-centered care, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. That allows him to address unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and strengthen motivation for change. He adjusts the approach depending on the concern, such as panic, substance use, or grief.

With three years of professional experience, he draws on hands-on practice rather than long lists of techniques. He listens for strengths and small changes that add up over time. People who want direct, practical support for mood, anxiety, or addiction-related struggles may find his style useful.

Clients will be asked about their goals and usual routines so sessions can fit into real life. The initial steps are straightforward: describe your main concerns, set a goal, and try small, manageable changes between meetings.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects understanding, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach supports concerns like loneliness, low self-esteem, and ongoing stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, or allowing participation from different locations. They also make it possible to continue work between appointments using homework and skill practice that translate to everyday routines.
