May Leflore, LPC

May Leflore is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. May aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for clients to speak about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical ways to cope and move forward. May emphasizes listening closely and partnering with each person to set realistic goals.

Her work often addresses relationship tension, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She also pays attention to areas like forgiveness, obsessive or compulsive patterns, paranoia, personality disorder concerns, and counseling related to HIV/AIDS or end-of-life issues. May adapts her approach to the issues a person brings to the room.

Two core approaches she uses are client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered work prioritizes understanding each person’s experience. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building different habits and coping skills.

People who choose May typically want a supportive, practical clinician who listens and helps build tools for daily life. She encourages small steps and ongoing collaboration as part of making lasting change.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Client-centered therapy is about listening and understanding a person’s perspective. It gives space for someone to describe what matters most while the therapist reflects and supports their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, obsessive patterns, and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. May will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure the work feels relevant and helpful over time.

Online care offers a range of formats to match daily life. Video calls let people meet face to face when a longer session or visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick, flexible ways to share updates or work through smaller steps between sessions. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
