About Erwin
Erwin Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people tackle relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, parenting stress, depression, and attention-related concerns. He communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps. He aims to make each session feel focused and useful for busy parents and working adults.
He brings five years of direct counseling experience and a master's degree in organizational counseling psychology. Erwin also holds an educator's license with school counseling and administration endorsements.
Background and approach
His years as a school counselor and later as an administrator shaped how he notices patterns and supports goal setting. Erwin typically uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people reframe thoughts and change unhelpful habits. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the person's values and priorities.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools appear when a brief, concrete plan is helpful. Sessions emphasize teamwork. He works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and practical steps to reach them.
Conversations aim to address immediate concerns like communication problems, fatherhood issues, or coping with separation, while building longer term skills. Erwin keeps language direct and avoids jargon so parents can apply strategies at home. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varying schedules.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

How these approaches shape online care
Erwin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to shift feelings and behavior; it can be useful for depression, anxiety, anger, and attention-related struggles. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person's goals and values, listening closely and building a plan that fits what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and adapt methods to your needs, goals, and preferences so therapy stays relevant and practical. That collaboration helps decide whether more structured CBT exercises or a conversation-led client-centered path will suit you best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper sessions where visual cues help, while phone calls are a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching nudges, or when fitting therapy into a tight schedule. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress without rearranging your whole day.
