Belinda Kock , LPC

Belinda Kock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with a focus on grief, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She earned a Master of Education in Counseling with an emphasis on Clinical Mental Health from The University of Montevallo and holds a Certification of Thanatology from the Association for Death Education and Counseling earned in 2016. In December 2021 she completed Grief Counseling Studies through the Center for Loss & Life Transition with Dr. Alan Wolfelt in Fort Collins, Colorado, furthering her specialization in bereavement support.

Her work centers on supporting people who are navigating the death of a loved one, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for listening and processing loss. She also assists individuals struggling with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, helping them identify practical steps toward greater self-love and purpose. In addition, she provides peer support for mental health professionals experiencing compassion fatigue, creating a space for clinicians to do their own self-work away from judgment.

Belinda integrates attention to attachment issues, communication challenges, and feelings of guilt or shame into her approach, tailoring support to each person’s experience. As an LPC, she brings clinical training and grief-specific education to sessions aimed at helping people move forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Belinda draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to guide online work in ways that match each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to understand how they shape emotions and reactions, which can be helpful for attachment issues and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic, nonjudgmental listening and supports individuals as they build self-esteem, self-love, and clarity about life purpose. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can alleviate guilt and shame and open pathways to new meanings.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Belinda works with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful given their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. The relationship between therapist and client guides which strategies are used.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals and therapists from their own schedules and locations. These modalities can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and receive support when in-person attendance is not possible.
