Belinda Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She holds certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - commonly called EMDR - and serves as an EMDR consultant, bringing specialized training in trauma work to her practice. Over the course of her career she has provided care in community programs, correctional settings, and military environments, and she has developed both inpatient family counseling services within a substance abuse treatment facility and an outpatient clinic addressing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.

For the past seven years Belinda has focused on military members and their families, addressing the complex effects of service and combat deployments. She also provides Christian counseling and is prepared to integrate matters of faith into therapy when clients request that focus. Her practice addresses a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, codependency, and first responder and veteran concerns. Belinda approaches her work with a strong sense of commitment and calls it a vocation. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Belinda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In simple, practical steps this approach helps people manage anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing healthier coping skills.

She is certified in EMDR, a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. EMDR can be effective for people coping with past abuse, accidents, or combat-related experiences by reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and associated symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Belinda employs when clients are facing ambivalence about change, such as in substance use or lifestyle shifts. This collaborative, goal-oriented approach helps people find their own motivation and commit to realistic steps toward recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Belinda will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor techniques from these methods to best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care for people with relocation or deployment responsibilities while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
