Rev. Laura Gillom, LCSW

Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW based in Mississippi who uses an approachable, interactive style to help people facing stress and anxiety. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps that ease daily strain. Her manner aims to be compassionate and respectful so people feel heard and treated with dignity.

She has supported people through depression, grief, anger, addictions, and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. Trauma and emotional abuse are part of her background work, and she draws on that experience when it is relevant.

Her practice mixes methods rather than relying on a single model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people reframe stories about themselves and set short-term goals that fit their life.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs instead of following a fixed script. She listens, asks questions, and offers concrete tools to try between meetings. The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, with attention to what will be useful day to day.

People who reach out start by choosing a Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows based on the therapist’s availability and the subscription plan that can be canceled at any time. If you want support for stress, anxiety, or related concerns, she can be a steady, practical presence in the work ahead.

How these approaches translate to online support

Rev. Laura Gillom draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes that can reduce worry and lift mood. Narrative Therapy helps people tell a different story about themselves by separating the problem from the person and identifying strengths and values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns and goals, explain how different methods might help, and agree on a plan that fits your situation. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made or needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Some formats may work better for brief check-ins while others allow longer conversations when deeper processing is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the way you prefer to meet, focusing on practical skills and story work that carry over into daily life.
