About MaRanda

MaRanda Gilmore is a Louisiana-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflicts, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She frames clients as experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths to address challenges like depression, addiction, grief, parenting struggles, and ADHD. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication breakdowns, and issues such as impulsivity, body image, and forgiveness.

Offering a collaborative and supportive presence, she leads with empathy while using practical, evidence-informed techniques to foster change. Her approach integrates client-centered principles with cognitive and emotion-focused strategies, plus solution-oriented and trauma-informed methods when needed.

MaRanda emphasizes courage and realistic steps, helping clients set goals and develop tools for coping with life changes, career stressors, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin patterns. Clients can expect a therapist who values their perspective, encourages growth, and partners with them to find workable solutions.

MaRanda combines warmth and clinical experience to create a space for healing and forward movement across a wide range of concerns.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

MaRanda commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, helping people feel heard while exploring values and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that contribute to relationship or work stress.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic journey. She partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods so the plan fits the client’s priorities. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as goals evolve or new challenges appear.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. These formats allow regular check-ins and skill practice around busy schedules, support during transitions, and continuity when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain momentum while tailoring care to what works best for each client.
