About MaRanda
MaRanda Gilmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Her focus also includes intimacy issues, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and career strain.
She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and points to their strengths as tools for change. Sessions are pragmatic and conversational. Discussions identify what’s getting in the way and build steps to respond differently in tense moments.
Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means listening first, then trying small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns and attachment issues are central to the problem.
MaRanda also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods to help people move through specific problems and past hurts. She breaks larger issues into manageable goals and tracks progress. This can be especially useful for anger that comes from past wounds, impulsivity, or ongoing stress.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented. People leave with concrete tools to manage strong feelings, practice different responses, and rebuild strained connections. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
MaRanda combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused strategies. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and thought-challenging to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anger and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how attachment and interaction patterns affect relationships and helps people shift how they respond to one another.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. MaRanda will discuss your concerns, goals, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit your needs. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most in regular sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, skip travel time, or check in during a short break. It can also allow shorter or focused sessions for skill practice when that suits the client. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and technical setup.
