Frequently
Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between supportive therapy and regular therapy?

Supportive therapy is shorter, more focused, and practical. Rather than deep long-term psychotherapy, it provides targeted coping tools alongside your psychiatric medication management.

Q2: How often will I attend supportive therapy sessions?

Session frequency is determined by your individual needs and treatment plan. Dr. May will recommend a schedule that best supports your progress and overall wellbeing.

Q3: Can supportive therapy be used without medication?

Yes. While supportive therapy is often integrated alongside medication management, it can also be beneficial as a standalone support tool depending on your diagnosis and goals.

Absolutely. Research consistently shows that online therapy delivers the same quality of care as in-person sessions — with the added convenience of accessing support from your own home.

Anyone navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, anger, sleep struggles, life stressors, or emotional challenges can benefit. Dr. May works with children ages 7 and up, teens, and adults across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC.
