About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, career concerns, parenting strain, coaching needs, and attention-deficit concerns. He uses a straightforward and respectful style in sessions.
Erwin leans on practical conversation and goal-setting to make progress. He often focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect day-to-day functioning and teaches ways to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - the client’s priorities shape what they work on together. His training includes a master’s degree in organizational counseling psychology and an educator’s license with school counseling and administration endorsements. He spent several years in K-12 schools, including roles as school counselor, assistant principal, and principal, which shaped his approach to problem solving and communication.
Erwin commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address mood, focus, and behavior. He also draws from client-centered methods to keep conversations person-focused and from solution-focused and motivational strategies to build small, achievable steps. In sessions he aims to treat people with dignity and respect.
He works at a steady pace, helping clients set clear goals and measure progress. If someone wants practical tools for everyday life, he focuses on skills they can use between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person and their goals, giving space for concerns to be heard and prioritized rather than imposing a fixed agenda. It helps when someone needs a respectful listener and wants therapy shaped around their experience.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change patterns that worsen mood or interfere with focus and functioning. CBT is often used for depression, anger, attention concerns, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messages allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and maintain continuity of care even when schedules change.
