About Laura
Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, and the strain of life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Laura uses a practical, interactive approach in sessions. She listens to the problem a person brings, then works with them to try different ways of noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on real-life steps someone can try between visits and short-term strategies that reduce immediate overwhelm.
Her background includes long experience supporting people after trauma and emotional abuse. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape the work. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than lengthy explanations.
Clients can expect conversations that move from identifying problems to testing small changes. Exercises and homework are used when helpful to track progress and build new patterns. Laura explains options and adapts the plan as needs evolve.
Practical matters such as cost and session format use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the platform matching steps to schedule an initial meeting.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Rev. Laura Gillom blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative responses to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their stories and separate problems from their sense of self, which can reduce shame and isolation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review the concerns, try an approach, and adjust methods based on how well they fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions are intended to be interactive, with concrete tasks and regular review of what is or is not working.
The biography does not specify the exact session formats offered. Confirm the available online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, fitting a shorter check-in during a work break, or allowing meetings when in-person attendance would be difficult. The focus remains on applying CBT and narrative techniques to real problems and testing small changes that can be used between sessions.
