About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a Mississippi Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of direct counseling experience. He works with adults who are dealing with relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, career struggles, parenting strain, depression, and ADHD. He also addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, infidelity, and isolation.
He holds a master's degree in organizational counseling psychology and an educator's license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. His school career included three years as a school counselor, seven years as an assistant principal, and one year as a head principal. That mix of roles shaped his practical approach to helping people manage emotions and behaviour.
In sessions he leans on cognitive behavioral methods while drawing from client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches when they fit. Conversations focus on concrete steps - recognizing patterns, testing new responses, and building small habits that change day-to-day interactions. Goals are agreed on together and reviewed as progress is made.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about what’s getting in the way and what to try differently. The work emphasizes skills people can use at home, at work, and in parenting. Exercises may include thought records, grounding practices, brief behavior experiments, and short-term goal setting.
Erwin frames therapy as a team effort. He aims to help people reduce anger that interferes with relationships, improve communication, and regain steadyer control over decisions and reactions.
How sessions work
Approach to therapy online and treatment styles
Erwin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in his work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anger, low mood, and workplace stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify goals and decide what changes to try next.He also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice their bodily responses and regain calm during strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises are simple and brief, useful for interrupting escalation and lowering reactivity in the moment.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Plans are adjusted as progress and feedback guide the work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or make follow-up check-ins easier. If you want structured skills practice, expect homework like thought records, short behavior experiments, and guided mindfulness to use between sessions.
