May Leflore

May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges. She aims to make the first step toward change easier for someone feeling overwhelmed.

May creates a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about painful feelings. She emphasizes listening first and then working together to find practical steps that feel doable. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what small changes might help day to day.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try alternative ways of responding. These methods are straightforward and action-oriented when that fits the client's goals.

May has worked with people managing grief, loss, and end-of-life concerns, including hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses issues such as depression, anger, self-esteem, parenting stress, and coping with life transitions. Additional focuses include forgiveness work, HIV and AIDS related concerns, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorder patterns.

Her style is supportive and practical. She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and checks progress together. Those who prefer calm guidance and practical tools may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience first and focuses on listening with empathy. In practice this means sessions emphasize what matters most to the person and adapt pace and goals to their needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then try small, practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean more listening and exploration at first, then adding CBT-style exercises if that matches the client's needs.

Many people find online therapy can fit more easily into a busy week by reducing travel time and making it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online options can also support brief check-ins, focused skill practice, or ongoing work on grief and coping with life transitions.
