About Belinda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of experience, Belinda Edwards focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and related concerns. She works with people facing depression, grief, relationship and family challenges, and has a strong background in trauma work. Sessions may include discussion of faith when requested, reflecting her role as a Christian counselor.
Edwards has worked in community programs, correctional settings, and military environments. Early in her career she helped set up a family counseling program within an inpatient substance use treatment facility. She also managed an outpatient clinic that addressed both mental health and substance use concerns.
Her practice includes trauma-focused methods and approaches aimed at resolving traumatic memories and symptoms. Belinda has experience working with first responders, veterans and service members on issues related to military service and deployment. She also supports people dealing with addiction, codependency, panic, mood disorders, and complications such as guilt or shame.
In sessions she uses practical, goal-oriented techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused methods. Conversations often center on identifying patterns, building coping strategies, and setting small, achievable goals between meetings.
Belinda notes that scheduling can sometimes be adjusted to meet client needs. To begin, users are asked to follow the site's matching process, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a first session through the provided options.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Belinda commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice different responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma-focused work concentrates on processing distressing memories and reducing their impact on daily life, using structured, step-by-step techniques that target traumatic responses.She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who are considering change, such as addressing substance use. That method focuses on exploring a person's reasons for change and strengthening their motivation through collaborative conversation. The therapist will help decide together which approaches fit a client's needs and goals, and will adjust methods as those goals evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. The practical aim is to fit therapy into everyday life while using the methods described to address trauma, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, and related issues.
