Erwin Gilliam, LPC

Erwin Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. He supports people facing relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, parenting stress, depression, and ADHD. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood challenges, and feelings of isolation.

He uses straightforward, goal-focused work in sessions. He leans on cognitive behavioral methods while also drawing from client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. That mix helps him tailor conversations to each person's situation and pace.

Erwin holds a master’s degree in organizational counseling psychology and an educator's license with school counseling and administration endorsements. His background includes 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 how he listens and communicates under pressure.

In practice he aims to treat people with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. He works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on building small, doable habits that move toward those goals.

The decision to seek help is an important first step. Erwin approaches work with respect and gratitude for that choice, and he partners with people who want to make steady, realistic progress.

How Erwin’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences. Then he will try methods that seem to fit and adjust them based on what helps most. This keeps the process collaborative and flexible.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or fitting a session into a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full visit isn’t needed and let people choose session times that match their schedule. Confirm which online session formats are available before booking so arrangements match personal needs and daily routines.
