Rev. Laura Gillom

Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW practicing in Mississippi with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. She also offers support for people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, communication problems, compassion fatigue, and isolation or loneliness.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps rather than labels. She treats people with dignity and respect and aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her.

Laura uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs and goals. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, telling and reframing personal stories, or finding small changes that lead to better days. She also brings trauma-focused work when past harms shape present struggles.

She prioritizes collaboration and straightforward goals. People are invited to talk about what matters most and to set concrete steps between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple ways that make it easier to notice change.

If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers support to help them move forward. Prospective clients should follow the site process to begin, complete the brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. It helps separate a person from their problems and can reduce guilt, shame, and isolation by rewriting limiting narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work and family schedules. It also makes it possible to continue care when life changes would otherwise interrupt it, while keeping the focus on concrete goals and steps between sessions.
