About Laura
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) Rev. Laura Gillom has 15 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and the strain of life changes. She also focuses on communication difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and compassion fatigue.
She uses several therapy approaches to guide sessions, including cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. Sessions are conversational and interactive. Laura aims to listen, identify practical steps, and use methods that fit the situation rather than sticking to a single style.
Many people come for help after a painful loss, a major change, or ongoing stress that wears them down. In those sessions she helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She then works with each person to try different ways of responding and to test small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
When trauma or emotional abuse is part of the history, she applies approaches designed to reduce overwhelming reactions and to rebuild a sense of control. For relationship and family concerns she focuses on communication skills and concrete ways to reduce conflict and misunderstanding. Sessions aim to be direct, practical, and respectful of each person’s background.
Her background as a social worker informs a practical outlook. People who choose to work with her should expect clear conversation about goals, regular reassessment of progress, and a willingness to adjust methods as needed.

Therapeutic approaches for remote sessions
Rev. Laura Gillom commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused methods in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing overwhelming reactions after traumatic events and restoring a sense of control over daily life.She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult experiences by separating the person from the problem and telling the story differently. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps to move toward them. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process; she works with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific session formats are not listed in her biography. In general, remote work can make scheduling easier, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins that fit a busy day. Discussing goals and trying an approach for a few sessions helps determine whether that format and method feel useful for ongoing work.
