About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. He works with people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting questions, depression, ADHD, and related issues. His tone is straightforward and goal-oriented.
Sessions aim to clarify what’s most important and take small steps toward change. Erwin holds a Master of Science in organizational counseling psychology and uses that training to ground conversations in real-world solutions.
Background and approach
He also brings experience from school settings, where he served as a school counselor, assistant principal, and head principal. Those roles shaped his skill at listening and problem solving in busy lives. In sessions he tends to start with cognitive behavioral tools - practical ways to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.
He also draws on client-centered skills to follow each person’s priorities, and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. He matches techniques to what a person needs rather than sticking to one fixed plan. His style aims to be respectful and direct.
He works with clients as partners in setting goals and tracking progress. Conversations are paced to fit each person’s comfort and life demands. Erwin practices in Mississippi and holds the LPC credential.
He offers several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities. It’s about creating space for your concerns and building the plan around what matters to you. This works well for people who need a steady, supportive dialogue to sort through choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems in place. Sessions include practical exercises to try between meetings and steps to change thinking patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression, anger, and motivation struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation shapes whether more client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or solution-focused goal work becomes the focus in sessions.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular check-ins into work or family life and to use brief touchpoints when longer sessions aren’t possible. Licensed professionals can guide therapy using these tools while adapting homework and exercises for the online setting.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
