Audrey Lahodny

Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas. She combines a practical, change-focused stance with calm support to help people move through painful moments and build healthier relationships. Audrey emphasizes clear communication and real goals in sessions.

Audrey brings ten years of clinical experience to work on sexual concerns, substance and behavior issues, and experiences of abuse or violence in relationships. She aims to make sessions a place where people can speak honestly without judgment. The tone is direct and compassionate, with an eye toward practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. She adapts these tools to the situation at hand rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Audrey also helps with common life stressors such as parenting challenges, career transitions, low self-esteem, and managing anger. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, blended family concerns, and co-occurring problems like codependency and substance use.

Starting therapy with Audrey involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. She schedules appointments Monday through Thursday mornings, and works with clients to set clear, achievable steps between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Audrey uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic experiences by helping people process memories and reduce the ways those experiences get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and to build more secure ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical strategies people can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Audrey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the situation. Together they assess progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Check the session options before booking to confirm how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that consistent weekly work plus concrete tasks between meetings helps carry change into everyday life.
