About Laura
Rev. Laura Gillom is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 15 years of psychotherapy experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, family concerns, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Laura uses practical, interactive conversation to help clients name problems and find ways forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot thinking patterns that make things harder. She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe difficult stories and identify small changes that make a difference.
Her work includes trauma-focused approaches for people who have experienced emotional abuse or other traumatic events. She aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning by combining short-term strategies with deeper conversation when needed.
Clients can expect clear, direct talk about coping skills, communication strategies, and manageable steps for change. Sessions include setting goals, practicing new responses, and checking what works in real life.
Laura respects each person’s background and avoids labels that limit understanding. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used during online sessions
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe life stories and separate themselves from problem-saturated narratives to find new perspectives. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, short-term changes and building on what already works to reach concrete goals.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That discussion guides whether sessions lean toward skill-based CBT, story-oriented narrative work, or brief solution-focused strategies, and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use different methods over video or phone to practice communication, try behavioral experiments, and follow up on coping strategies between sessions.
