About May

May Reinert is a licensed mental health counselor who uses client-centered care and practical therapies to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She draws on seven years of professional experience and offers straightforward support for mood challenges, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and workplace stress. May presents herself as a calm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to address overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

Those approaches are paired with mindfulness exercises to help people notice feelings without getting swept away. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. May holds credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

The LPCC listing includes Ohio supervision details and the New York LMHC license number is available. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. In practical work she focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps.

Conversations often include skill practice, tracking how thoughts affect moods, and planning new habits. The overall aim is to increase confidence and reduce anxiety so daily life feels more manageable. Her style is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Clients set priorities and May offers tools and feedback to support progress. Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that keep resurfacing.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

May often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically include identifying patterns, testing ideas in daily life, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety or lift mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance - practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving stability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust methods over time so therapy matches what actually helps in daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, follow up between sessions, and practice skills in real-world moments. Licensed professionals can use these tools to provide consistent care while tailoring pace and exercises to each person's needs.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
