About Belinda
Belinda Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationships, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and anger. Belinda also works with career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work in community programs, correctional settings, and military contexts. She helped set up a family counseling program inside an inpatient substance use treatment facility and later ran an outpatient clinic for mental health and substance abuse. For the past seven years she has worked with military service members and their families on issues connected to service and deployments.
Belinda uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma-focused work, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and EMDR. She brings those methods together to address patterns like codependency, attachment concerns, communication problems, and the long-term effects of trauma. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and purpose questions.
She offers faith-informed counseling for people who want to include Christian beliefs in their sessions. Her practical experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling, first responder issues, and veteran-related concerns informs how she responds to intense stress and grief. Sessions aim to help people manage strong emotions and find clearer ways to handle relationship strain.
Belinda notes that scheduling can sometimes be adjusted to meet client needs; if a listed time doesn't fit, she asks prospective clients to mention that and she will try to accommodate them. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Belinda uses evidence-based methods online
Belinda commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR alongside motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and is often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related reactions. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation to change behaviors like substance use.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Belinda collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, experiences, and preferences. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan based on what is and isn’t helping.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone avoid being on camera when that helps, or use phone-only contact when bandwidth is limited. These practical choices are discussed with the therapist when arranging sessions.
