About Laura

Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW based in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and addictions.

She often helps people facing relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, and recovering from compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Background and approach

Her approach is interactive and tailored. She draws on Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape conversations and practical steps. Sessions are designed around each person's needs rather than a fixed agenda.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about patterns, meaning, and small change strategies. Laura works to create a respectful space where people can name what matters, reframe troubling stories, and try new responses in daily life. Over 15 years she has supported people through many kinds of losses and life transitions.

Her background in social work informs practical problem solving alongside emotional support. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress. To begin, she asks people to describe their main concern and what they hope will change.

That information shapes a plan that combines listening, skill-building, and ongoing review of what helps.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options

Narrative and Practical Therapies for Online Care

Rev. Laura Gillom uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. This approach helps identify unhelpful narratives and open up alternative meanings that feel more hopeful and useful. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions to create small, concrete changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different techniques, and check in about what helps. Together you set goals and adjust methods based on your needs and preferences rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, short problem-solving, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity during life transitions.
