01About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam helps people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, parenting stress, depression, and challenges related to ADHD. He approaches each concern with direct, practical conversation and a focus on clear goals. Erwin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with five years of experience.
He uses straightforward talk to identify what is causing distress and then looks for small, doable changes. Sessions are collaborative - the client and he set goals together and check progress along the way.
Background and approach
He adapts methods to fit what a person needs rather than following one fixed formula. Erwin trained at the master’s level in organizational counseling psychology and also holds an educator's license with school counseling and administration endorsements. His background includes several years working in public schools in counseling and leadership roles, which shaped his practical approach to problem solving.
Common themes he addresses include communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and the fallout from divorce, infidelity, or immigration stress. He also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, hoarding behaviors, and difficulties tied to certain personality patterns. Therapy sessions blend client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when useful.
He may also draw on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to keep work goal-oriented. The aim is to build skills that make daily life easier and more manageable.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Erwin often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He treats the choice of methods as a collaboration, adjusting techniques to match your goals, needs, and preferences. Together you will try approaches and pick what helps most for your situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while still working toward clear goals.
