May Leflore, LPC

May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those facing relationship strain, grief, depression, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her first aim is to make it easier to talk about what’s happening and to find manageable next steps.

In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens closely and works alongside clients to clarify goals and reduce immediate distress.

May uses practical methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she pays attention to each person’s experience and also offers ways to test thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings.

She brings steady support for people coping with big life changes, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and complex issues like obsessions or personality concerns. Additional areas of attention include forgiveness, HIV/AIDS related challenges, and end-of-life matters.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. She encourages small, achievable steps and helps clients notice progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How May’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with genuine attention and following what the client brings to each session. It helps people feel heard and make choices from their own values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, compulsive patterns, and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with clients to decide which mix of listening and active skills fits their goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or let someone attend without needing to be on camera for the whole time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options available before booking. In any case, the focus remains practical help for stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and related concerns, adapted to each person’s needs.
