About Laura
Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW with more than 15 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She offers straightforward, respectful care for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns.
Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to treat each person with dignity and compassion. She helps people manage life transitions and family conflict. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, isolation, and the heavy emotions that follow trauma or emotional abuse.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. Her work blends methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She adapts conversations and strategies to what each person needs in the moment.
That means sessions may include problem-solving, reframing difficult stories, and learning new ways to respond when strong feelings come up. Rev. Gillom emphasizes collaboration.
She listens first, then together with the client sets small, achievable goals. Progress is tracked week to week with adjustments based on what helps most. People who choose her often want a direct, compassionate clinician who avoids stigma and focuses on doable change.
She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into busy lives and will explain options for working together.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Rev. Laura Gillom uses practical, evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It often includes homework and simple skill-building between sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they tell about their lives and discover alternative, more empowering ways to describe experiences; this can be useful for grief, guilt, shame, and recovery from emotional abuse.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they test approaches, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible check-ins and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
