About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, parenting stress, depression, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.
He uses clear, direct conversation to identify the problems that matter most. Sessions focus on practical steps and changes clients can try between meetings. He tends to use cognitive behavioral tools alongside client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques to help people test new ways of handling old patterns.
Gilliam trained with a master of science in organizational counseling psychology and also holds an educator's license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. His time working in public schools included roles as a school counselor, assistant principal, and head principal, which shaped how he talks about parenting pressures and workplace stress.
In sessions he often helps people break big concerns into manageable goals. That can look like identifying thinking patterns that keep anger or low mood active, or building step-by-step plans for communication and problem solving. He also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to increase focus and follow-through.
Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful. People who come for help with fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, immigration stresses, or feelings of isolation are offered tools and short-term strategies alongside longer-term planning when desired.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the counselor follow the client's lead and clarify goals through conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small behavior changes. In an online setting CBT often uses homework, thought records, and clear action steps to practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then propose CBT, client-centered techniques, mindfulness exercises, or a blend. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust methods if something is not working as hoped.
The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into busy days because they cut down travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper planning. Talk with the therapist about scheduling needs and what will fit into everyday life so session length and cadence support real-world follow-through.
