About Laura
Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW based in Mississippi with 15 years of psychotherapy experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Her approach is respectful and straightforward, and she focuses on helping clients find practical ways to feel better. She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. Sessions often include talking through unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She also helps people tell their story differently so painful events feel less defining. Clients can expect a warm, interactive style. Laura emphasizes dignity, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
She avoids stereotyping or labeling and adjusts the plan as concerns evolve. Her work includes helping people manage relationship and family stress, communication problems, and feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and major life changes by building small, doable steps toward relief.
Laura has supported many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse and incorporates trauma-focused methods when they fit the situation. She aims to help clients feel understood and to develop concrete skills for everyday life. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.
Therapy sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and changing patterns that keep problems going. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives; changing the story can reduce shame and open new options for action. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and small steps that lead toward the goals a person wants, which can be useful for coping with life changes and relationship or communication problems.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and pick or blend approaches that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means the plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or suit people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up with consistent steps toward change.
