About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. He has five years of counseling experience helping people with relationship tension, anger, low self‑esteem, career concerns, parenting stress, depression, and ADHD. He aims to make first conversations straightforward and practical for worried parents reading on a phone.
He uses plain, goal-focused talk in sessions. Erwin often starts by listening to what matters most and then helps set clear, achievable steps.
Background and approach
He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small daily habits that get in the way of progress. His background includes a master’s degree in organizational counseling psychology and a Mississippi educator license with school counseling and administration endorsements.
He also spent years working in K-12 schools as a counselor and school leader, which shaped his approach to problem solving and communication. Erwin combines client-centered listening with practical tools from solution-focused work and motivational interviewing. He teaches simple mindfulness techniques for stress and anger so people can manage immediate reactions while building longer-term skills.
Sessions are collaborative and aim for steady, measurable change. He helps people set realistic goals, practice new responses between meetings, and track progress over time. The focus is on everyday improvements that make life easier and more manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and letting the client lead conversations. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard, to sort feelings, and to decide what goals matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and breaks them into small steps people can practice. CBT is useful for worries, anger, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erwin will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it matches real life needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text‑based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face and try exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, work breaks, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed.
