Belinda Edwards, LPC

Belinda Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She also addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to career or life change. Sessions can include conversations about faith, as she identifies as a Christian counselor and will address spiritual concerns when clients want that included.

Before private practice she worked in community and corrections settings and ran an outpatient clinic for mental health and substance use issues. She helped establish a family counseling program at an inpatient substance abuse facility and has spent significant time supporting military service members and their families around deployments and service-related stress.

Her clinical work uses several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed worry, anger, or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-focused work. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy provide short-term, goal-directed techniques to build momentum for change.

Belinda describes her work as straightforward and goal oriented. She helps people name what’s happening, try manageable changes, and track what works. She welcomes conversations that include faith and values when clients request that focus.

Her background working with first responders, military-related concerns, substance use, and community settings informs how she approaches complicated stress and trauma. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats before booking.
