Erwin Gilliam, LPC

Erwin Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with five years of direct counseling experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting stress, depression, and ADHD. He also addresses issues like communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation, and fatherhood concerns.

He uses clear, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits that shape behavior and mood. He emphasizes working together to set short-term goals and build small, workable changes.

Erwin earned a master’s degree in organizational counseling psychology and holds an educator's license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. He spent three years as a school counselor, seven years as an assistant principal, and one year as a head principal in public schools. Those roles shaped his approach to problem solving and coaching.

In practice he primarily draws on cognitive behavioral techniques while also using client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas as needed. He adapts methods to match each person’s pace and preferences rather than following a single formula.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. He aims to treat people with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring discussions and plans to individual needs. The process emphasizes teamwork so clients can move toward clearer decisions and everyday improvements.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of him. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and everyday habits influence mood and behavior; it helps people change unhelpful thinking and try new actions. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing the present moment and practicing simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Erwin treats that as a collaborative task. He will review your goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan together based on what works. The intent is to match methods to your pace and preferences rather than imposing a single path.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing check-ins from different locations, or offering shorter touchpoint meetings when needed. It can also let a professional help you stay consistent with goals through regular meetings and practical homework focused on thoughts and everyday habits.
