About Laurie
Laurie May is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus. She works in English and does not accept international clients.
Laurie keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress. She also talks through relationship troubles, grief reactions, and self-esteem struggles so people can make clearer choices in daily life.
Her work is collaborative. She and the person in therapy set goals together and try methods that fit the person’s situation. Laurie emphasizes small, manageable steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Clients can expect direct, plain talk about patterns that keep problems going. She addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, body image, isolation, and questions of life purpose and self-love in concrete ways. The focus is on building reliable coping skills rather than quick fixes.
Practical matters such as scheduling and fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online therapy options.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address everyday problems. One common approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress - for example, practicing ways to manage physical tension and repetitive worry so daily tasks feel more manageable. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and communication, helping people try different, clearer ways of interacting to reduce conflict and isolation.Finding the right approach is something she does together with each person. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match practical methods to the client’s needs rather than imposing a single plan.
The practical benefits of doing therapy online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera based on what works for them.
