About MaRanda
MaRanda Gilmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship and family concerns as well as stress, anxiety, and issues around intimacy. She also helps people dealing with addiction, depression, and life transitions.
MaRanda centers conversations on what each person brings to the room. She treats clients as the experts on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and focused on steps a person can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on familiar methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and set concrete goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used to look at how feelings affect connections with others. Trauma-Focused Therapy is available when difficult past events are part of the concern.
She regularly addresses family of origin issues and attachment-related concerns when those patterns show up in adult life. Work often includes communication problems, commitment and intimacy struggles, blended family dynamics, and parenting stress. MaRanda also supports people coping with grief, guilt, shame, and emptiness.
Her style aims for clear planning and steady progress. Clients can expect focused conversation, behavioral suggestions, and practical homework when appropriate. Those interested in starting are asked to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to book a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood so they can choose the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides tools to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions that affect relationships and then practice new ways of responding to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which techniques match the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration can mean trying one approach for a time and adjusting based on what helps.
The site asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking process. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations within the same state.
