About Tori
Tori Mays is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety and career-related concerns and lists young adult issues among her areas of work. Her practice centers on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, low self-esteem, grief, depression, or major life changes.
She often works with clients who report panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, or a sense of being stuck after school or during career shifts. Tori has also supported people coping with attachment concerns, body image struggles, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation or shame. These themes shape the day-to-day focus of her sessions.
Tori uses a mix of evidence-based techniques chosen to fit each person’s situation. She describes sessions as collaborative - listening first, then trying specific tools or strategies together. This can include practical steps for managing panic, ways to reframe self-critical thoughts, and guidance for navigating career decisions.
She has experience with a range of issues that may show up alongside anxiety, including substance use, depression, trauma from assault, and attention concerns. Tori emphasizes attending to the person’s whole situation when planning next steps. Her LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.

How Tori’s methods translate to online sessions
Tori draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. One common approach is working with breathing and grounding strategies for panic and acute anxiety; these are short, practical practices to reduce immediate symptoms and teach self-calming skills. Another frequent focus is cognitive work to notice and reframe self-critical thoughts, which can help with low self-esteem and depressive thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and personal preferences, then try methods that fit. If a technique needs adjusting, they change it and track whether it helps, keeping the process collaborative rather than fixed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity while juggling work or school, and the therapist will discuss how to make sessions workable for everyday life.
