About May
May Reinert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who combines practical talk therapy with goal-focused tools. She draws on seven years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. May aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supported.
She uses a straightforward, person-centered approach that centers the client's own goals. Sessions are a place to talk honestly about what is hard and to practice skills that make everyday life easier.
Background and approach
She also brings techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolbox for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation feels stuck, especially around career choices or lifestyle changes.
These methods are adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. May works with concerns including relationships, parenting stress, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care topics, blended family challenges, fertility concerns, and first responder stress.
Her practice emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental listening. May encourages small experiments in daily life and clear steps people can try between sessions. She is licensed in New York as an LMHC and holds an LPCC in Ohio, and she practices in Florida.
Approaches and how online therapy supports them
May integrates Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a clear, collaborative way of working. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist focuses on what matters most to the person and listens without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete techniques to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach practical steps for handling intense feelings and improving day-to-day coping. Together these approaches give both a supportive space and hands-on skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to prioritize and how quickly to move toward change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and skill practice, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and texting let clients share updates or get brief support between sessions and can fit around work or caregiving schedules. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
