About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. He helps people who are struggling with relationships, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, parenting challenges, depression, and ADHD. He also supports individuals facing abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and isolation or loneliness.
Erwin uses clear, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He leans on cognitive behavioral ideas while drawing from client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches when useful. Sessions focus on setting achievable goals and trying out small changes between meetings.
He holds a master of science in organizational counseling psychology and an educator's license with school counseling and administration endorsements. His work history includes three years as a school counselor, seven years as an assistant principal, and one year as a head principal in public schools. That background shaped his interest in coaching, motivation, and career-related concerns.
Erwin says he approaches clients with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. He describes therapy as a team effort where both people set goals together. Conversations are tailored to each person so the plan fits real life and what that person wants to accomplish.
For someone weighing therapy, Erwin aims to make the process straightforward. He emphasizes practical steps, real-world problem solving, and steady progress toward clearer direction and improved day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life
Erwin commonly uses cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches in simple, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, giving them space to set the direction and pace of work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what works. Expect ongoing conversations about what helps and practical tweaks to the plan as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, shorten travel time, and fit more readily into work or family routines. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let people meet without needing to be on camera the whole time. Talk with the therapist about what session setup will best match your needs and daily life.
