About MaRanda
MaRanda Gilmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, stress and anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and self-esteem.
She approaches sessions from a client-centered perspective, which means the person's own goals and strengths guide the work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior patterns, Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and attachment concerns, Solution-Focused Therapy for short-term goals, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects current life.
In practical terms she helps people talk through communication problems, commitment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and issues that come from a difficult family of origin. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, body image worries, and struggles with impulsivity or substance use.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The therapist treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. Work may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to respond, and tracking small changes between meetings.
People who contact her typically want clear steps and tools as well as space to process emotions. The first meetings focus on understanding current concerns and setting priorities. Subsequent work moves toward concrete skills and problem solving.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters to them so they can make real changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice may change over time as priorities and circumstances evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can help fit meetings into a busy life by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins easier to schedule, or allowing sessions when leaving work for an in-person visit would be difficult. The focus remains on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps people can try between meetings.
