About Belinda
Belinda Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger. Her background includes community, corrections, and military settings, and she brings that experience into each session.
Belinda’s work is practical and straightforward. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and builds step-by-step plans for change. Sessions often focus on coping skills for strong emotions, improving communication, and addressing the effects of trauma.
Background and approach
She has a long history supporting people affected by substance use and by military-related stress. Early in her career she helped set up a family counseling program in an inpatient substance abuse facility and later managed an outpatient clinic for mental health and addiction concerns. For several years she has worked with service members and military-related issues.
Belinda integrates a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods to address unwanted symptoms and behaviors. She also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing as tools to help people process traumatic memories and find motivation for change. She is open to discussing faith in therapy and will work with clients on spiritual concerns when they want that included.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Online approaches for trauma, stress, and motivation
Belinda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into more balanced ones; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Choosing the right method is a team effort. Belinda works with clients to decide which approach fits best for their goals, history, and personal preferences. She will adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the tools stay relevant to each person’s needs. Online sessions let people get consistent care around busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or when a shorter check-in is the goal. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, problem solving between sessions, and flexible support during the week. These options make it simpler to keep therapy part of daily life without long travel times.Questions people ask about Belinda
