Charles May, LCSW

Charles May is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. He also focuses on bipolar mood issues, panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

He frames sessions around clear, practical conversation. He listens for how symptoms affect daily life - work, sleep, relationships, and routines - and then outlines straightforward steps to try. Sessions are direct and aimed at helping people manage emotions and reduce harmful patterns.

Charles uses client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person's priorities. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that lead to distress and to practice different responses. Motivational Interviewing helps when substance use or change resistance is part of the problem.

For trauma-related concerns he uses trauma-focused approaches that move at a pace the person can tolerate. He emphasizes skills people can practice between sessions, such as grounding, scheduled activities, and brief behavioral experiments. Progress is tracked in concrete ways, like sleep, mood ratings, or reduced urges.

Charles aims to be straightforward about options and next steps. He works in English and is based in Texas. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match their day-to-day commitments.
