About May

May Reinert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of professional experience. She is licensed in New York (NY LMHC) and Ohio (OH LPCC) and practices from Florida. She lists work with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges.

May helps people talk through everyday pressures at home and work. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and on building clearer ways to handle heavy emotions.

Her approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities central. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for managing strong emotion. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to help with focus, follow-through, and stress regulation.

Clients can expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes small, achievable changes. May often frames sessions around immediate concerns like sleep, parenting strain, or relationship communication. She pays attention to how daily routines and expectations affect mood and coping.

May has additional experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, autism and Asperger syndrome, first responder stress, and fertility-related difficulties. She also lists work related to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and bipolar concerns. Her practice aims to help adults manage the practical effects of these issues in their day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How May’s therapeutic approaches fit online

Client-centered therapy places the client’s concerns and goals at the center. Online sessions let conversations start from whatever feels most pressing, whether that is parenting strain, sleep problems, or relationship communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday life, which translates into practical between-session tasks that can be tracked remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and improving communication, useful when stress or anger affects home life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill coaching to fit life at home and help clients build manageable habits.
