More about Erwin
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Hi, I am Erwin Gilliam, a Mississippi licensed professional counselor with 3 years of direct professional work experience in therapeutic counseling. This experience includes working with clients with identity issues, stress, depression, relationship &/or marital issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. My background and experiences have given me a variety of opportunities and have allowed me to see the world from different angles, helping me sharpen my counseling skills.
I have a masters degree in organizational counseling psychology. In addition, I also hold an educator's license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. To add to my career experiences, I served as a school counselor for 3 years, as an assistant principal for 7 years, and head principal for one year in a public school setting.
When it comes to therapy, I primarily use the cognitive behavioral approach with my clients; however, I am able to utilize other approaches depending on my client's needs. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. We will work as a team in setting your goals so that you achieve the outcome you are seeking.
This first step, seeking out better health, is a huge milestone in finding the happiness and fulfillment we all desire in life. I am forever grateful that you have given me the opportunity to be a part of your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He is very intelligent and listens and responds well. Very positive but real at the same time. Seems like a great guy to me.
Erwin has been incredibly helpful in not only showing me tools in bettering my life but the people's lives around me by looking inward and genuinely trying to be a better person.
Erwin is a good listener and he Ask the right questions.
Erwin is great! He has a caring approach and does not come off as abrasive, but he will still let you know what you need to hear. I enjoy our sessions
Excellent suggestions
I am loving this experience and feel like I won the therapist lottery with Erwin.
Erwin is the best!
My experience with Erwin is that of a mild manner gentle soul. He listens and provides such a safe space that is very refreshing. He provides a familiar nonjudgmental environment.
Great therapist
Erwin is a great listener. He truly understands the underlying issue when I communicate my situations/concerns to him. He is very clear when he communicates and truly cares about helping me overcome whatever mental hurdle I may be facing.
Erwin is a good listener and asked the right questions to help resolve my issues.
Best therapist I've ever had.
Erwin has been excellent! Not only does he listen well, he is proactive in finding solutions that work. He keeps things light and has great sense of humor which helps keep things comfortable. I look forward to meeting with him every week.
Could not ask for better! What he has done for my self esteem is priceless.
Very down to earth. Listens and understands what I am going through and not only offers help but brings God into it as well. 10/10 I recommend him to all my friends.
I appreciate our conversations and will definitely use his advice in the future
He is great
The best therapist I have ever had. By far.
He is a great therapist. The best match for me was Erwin.
Erwin is very thoughtful, thorough, and has some great suggestions on building family communication skills.
Erwin listens attentively and gently directs the discussion to honor both what I need to say and the time in which I have to say it! He is good at highlighting other perspectives and not just pumping me up by supporting only my point of view. I believe he genuinely wants to help and gives good practical tips that can be put to use immediately.
Very helpful and down to earth person.
I am new to therapy and this app, however, I am very appreciative of the respect and support that I have received. I hope that I will leave with some tools to help improve my personal roadblocks. Erwin's demeanour is exactly what I need. Thank you
Erwin is a phenomenal therapist, great listener, definitely recommend to anyone.
After many failed attempts, I think I’ve found my therapist! I’ve made so much progress in the last few months. I opted to have someone completely opposite of me to help me understand what I longed to find most; how to understand a black man. I’ve grown so much! He’s the best!
Erwin offered me a lot of great advice and helped me navigate tough life situations and prepare myself for future changes. He's been a great therapist
I enjoy my sessions with Erwin. Always make my week better.
He’s been incredibly polite, encouraging, and accommodating. Anytime I worry about overthinking or over sharing, he reassures me that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to. He’s helped ground me in a time of serious struggle and confusion, and I’m very thankful.
He’s a fantastic therapist who’s really able to listen to and follow complex ideas and problems. He’s able to give real world advice and balance the serious nature of your issues with humour and empathy. I highly recommend him to anyone in need :)
I would highly recommend Erwin. He’s helped me so much in the past few sessions. I couldn’t be happier!
Erwin has a ton of expertise and has been an amazing help in navigating me through some of my challenges. He is great at listening and providing valuable insight. I would strongly recommend him!
