May Leflore, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About May

May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other life challenges. May aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize listening first and then building small, realistic steps forward.

Background and approach

The tone is practical and supportive rather than clinical or abstract. May uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to break down problems into workable parts.

That combination is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and difficult memories. In practice she helps people manage anger, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate big life changes. She also addresses forgiveness, issues related to HIV and AIDS, end-of-life and hospice concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, paranoia, and personality-related difficulties when they are present.

Sessions are held remotely for clients in different places, and English is used for all conversations. May supports international clients and works with each person to tailor goals and pace. Reaching out can feel hard, and she focuses on steady support through the process.

How May's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is shared and helps the client feel heard before deciding next steps. It is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about worries or past hurts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments to change results. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching specific skills to manage symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods collaboratively. That way sessions stay practical and suited to each person’s needs.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options provide flexibility and accessibility while letting therapy focus on progress and daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
