Getting to know Laura Gillom

Hi there, I'm Laura! Greetings! My name is Laura Gillom, and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Mississippi. I earned my Master's in Social Work from The University of Southern Mississippi. I am careful to create a space of safety and trust, encouraging an authentic therapeutic relationship to naturally develop with my clients. My approach My most common therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I also use person-centered and other techniques drawn from a number of evidence-based treatment orientations. The theoretical approach used depends on the needs of the client. My focus I work with all kinds of clients with all sorts of problems. The majority of the clients I see are experiencing bullying (teens), stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Ideal clients are those who are ready to work. Clients unwilling to work through their trauma, especially those with children, are doing themselves a disservice. Children deserve a healed parent. My communication style I provide nonjudgmental safe spaces in the therapeutic environment. Listening carefully to the individual and navigating sessions at a pace that seems appropriate is important. This usually allows clients to feel free to open up and share the emotional load they've been carrying. My journey to mental healthcare As a 16-year-old freshman, I entered college with the intent of becoming an accountant. That was not my calling. I found my niche in social work and developed a passion for mental health during grad school. I have been chosen to do the work of a therapist. I am passionate about mental health, the need for emotional healing, and holistic health. My goals for you I allow clients to discuss what they have always wanted to do or think they would like to do. Then, I explain SMART goals and why it's important to follow this acronym. We agree on the goals he or she would like to achieve.
