About Laura
Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW in Mississippi who brings 15 years of psychotherapy experience to sessions. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and addiction. She also supports people handling relationship and family concerns and major life transitions.
Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids labels and aims to meet each person where they are.
She uses an eclectic mix of approaches and adapts conversations and plans to fit what a person needs. That can mean practical steps one week and deeper emotional work another week. The focus stays on clear goals and real-life changes.
Rev. Gillom has worked with many people affected by trauma and emotional abuse. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps find different ways to respond. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. She helps clients build coping skills, sort through grief or compassion fatigue, and work on self-esteem. If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers supportive guidance and practical tools to move forward.
How these approaches shape online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more balanced ones. It often includes short practical exercises someone can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from problems. It is useful for working through identity, guilt, shame, and longtime patterns that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work with licensed professionals from different locations while keeping appointments aligned with everyday life.
