About May

May Kirby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings experience from working in intensive outpatient mental health treatment settings. She centers the therapeutic relationship as the primary driver of growth and change, approaching each partnership with curiosity and respect for the individual's story.

Skilled in a variety of therapeutic modalities, she focuses on helping people identify and strengthen their existing resources while exploring new ways to cope and move forward. Her genuine interest in people and their experiences informs a collaborative style aimed at discovering practical strengths and fostering resilience.

May invites those seeking support to consider a partnership in which goals, values, and strengths guide the work together, with attention to what matters most to each person.

Approach to Therapy and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what truly matters to them and build practical habits that align with those values. It supports movement toward meaningful goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust, helping clients understand attachment needs and improve relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership in which the therapist offers empathy and support to help the client discover their own solutions and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and May works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time to match progress and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances while offering choices that suit how a client prefers to communicate and engage in the work.
