01About MaRanda
MaRanda Gilmore greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She frames the first steps in clear, simple language and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. MaRanda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience supporting adults through common life challenges.
She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, family tensions, and parenting stress. She also works with anxiety, depression, addiction issues, grief, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her focus extends to attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication problems, and impulsivity among other concerns. In sessions MaRanda centers the person’s own story and strengths. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build connection, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events need careful attention.
She mixes these methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed plan. Her approach is practical and collaborative. People can expect to talk about clear, short-term goals and try steps that feel doable between meetings.
The tone is direct but warm, aimed at helping people notice small changes that add up over time. MaRanda offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She communicates in English and works with adults located in Louisiana.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the service’s booking tools.

How MaRanda Uses Talk Therapy Online
MaRanda combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful relationship, which helps when someone needs to make sense of their feelings about relationships or family. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that cause conflict.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when attachment and closeness are central concerns, helping people name emotions and shift how they respond in close relationships. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer conversations and deeper work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family life while keeping the therapeutic process consistent.
