01About Katia
Katia Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 22 years of work in mental health and social services to sessions. She speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients.
Her background includes roles across clinics, schools, residential treatment, and social service agencies. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Katia also supports people facing parenting strain, career decisions, addictive behaviors, eating concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and coping with isolation are part of her practice too. Katia prefers a straightforward, practical approach during sessions. She helps people learn skills and small habits they can use between meetings.
Sessions often center on concrete steps rather than abstract talk. The goal is to make progress feel doable and relevant to daily life. Her work history includes school-based therapy, crisis intervention, community mental health, detention and residential settings, and supervisory roles in social services.
That variety shapes a flexible style with attention to safety and real-world challenges. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide care. Outside of counseling, she spends time with her husband and three children and enjoys beach trips and travel to tropical places.
Those interests inform a calm, grounded presence in sessions and a practical orientation to healing.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
She draws on well-established, practical therapeutic methods to address stress, mood, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. It’s focused and action-oriented, useful for worry, low mood, and many daily struggles.Mindfulness-based practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These techniques teach simple attention exercises and breathing strategies that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping after trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions work when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want ongoing written support, quick check-ins, or flexibility around work and family schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
