Bree May , LMHC

Bree May is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years in the helping field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Bree also supports those coping with life changes and concerns related to family dynamics.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques blended with client-centered and interpersonal methods. Sessions can be practical and goal-focused, or more expansive and spiritually oriented when that fits a person’s needs. Bree pays attention to each person's personality, history, and relationships when shaping treatment.

Common issues she addresses include panic attacks, mood concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and problems with communication or control. She also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.

People can expect straightforward work on behavior and skills when needed, such as building coping strategies and reducing reactivity. At other times Bree shifts to deeper conversations about meaning, forgiveness, and long-term patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

She practices in Washington as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English and Bree accepts international clients. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many of Bree's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable change. One approach concentrates on behavior-focused strategies - identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve coping with everyday stress. Another approach emphasizes interpersonal work - looking at how relationships and attachment shape emotional reactions and communication problems, which can help with loneliness, caregiver stress, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bree will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She shifts between short-term problem solving and deeper exploration depending on what the client wants to address.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler check-in or fit into a busy day, live chat is good for brief back-and-forth, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to integrate into a real life schedule.
