About Erwin

Erwin Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who focuses on concerns such as relationship struggles, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, parenting, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He brings five years of direct clinical experience to his work and draws on a background in organizational counseling psychology and school leadership to inform a practical, strengths-oriented approach. Gilliam’s professional path includes roles as a school counselor, assistant principal, and head principal, which exposed him to diverse perspectives on motivation, identity, and interpersonal conflict.

He emphasizes dignity, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions, adapting interventions to meet each client’s unique situation. Cognitive behavioral techniques are a central part of his practice, and he also uses client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a tailored plan that reflects their priorities. Gilliam frames the work as a team effort focused on identifying manageable steps toward better functioning and greater fulfillment.

He offers services in English and practices from Mississippi, working within the scope of his LPC credential (MS LPC 1712).

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the client’s perspective and values guide the work; this approach helps people gain clarity and feel heard while building motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, making it useful for issues like depression, anxiety, anger, and difficulties with focus. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills for reducing reactivity and improving attention, which can support emotional regulation and stress management.

Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then recommend and adjust techniques so the approach fits the client’s needs. This partnership helps refine the plan as progress unfolds and ensures strategies remain relevant to real-life concerns.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow ongoing contact between sessions in ways that match different communication styles, supporting continuity and accessibility of care.
