About MaRanda

MaRanda Gilmore, LPC, focuses on helping people manage relationship stress, anxiety, and life changes. She keeps sessions grounded and straightforward so parents and busy adults can talk about what matters most. Her style aims to calm overwhelm and help clients find clear next steps.

With 11 years of professional work experience in Louisiana, MaRanda draws on client-centered methods to put each person’s perspective first. She listens for strengths and builds on them, helping people notice patterns that get in the way of closeness or calm.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work with feelings and bonds, while cognitive behavioral techniques help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas to help people move forward after painful events. Sessions often focus on practical tools - breathing, communication skills, and small behavior changes that add up.

MaRanda explains options plainly and helps clients pick what fits their life. Clients come for help with parenting strain, family conflict, addiction concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and career stress. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment wounds that show up in relationships and intimacy.

Her work includes supporting people with anger, impulsivity, and ADHD-related struggles. MaRanda conducts therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started.

From there she and the client schedule sessions based on availability and goals.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their deeper feelings and connection needs, which can open pathways to greater closeness and self-understanding. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, giving space for the client to lead while the therapist follows and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and guide practical problem solving.

Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. MaRanda will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins or written reflection, and text-based messaging helps with brief ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, work breaks, or when a shorter check-in is needed.
