Audrey Lahodny , LCMFT

Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) based in Kansas who focuses on helping people navigate difficult changes in relationships and personal life. She brings a decade of experience to conversations about intimacy, addiction, trauma, and family challenges. Audrey speaks English and meets with clients using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Her approach centers on connection and understanding. She uses attachment-based methods to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Emotion-focused and Gottman-informed work guide couples toward clearer communication and renewed closeness.

Audrey supports people facing sexual concerns, substance or behavior concerns, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. She also helps with parenting stress, career shifts, self-esteem, grief after separation, and caregiver strain. Other areas she addresses include body image, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family issues.

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Audrey helps clients set simple goals, try new ways of relating, and build skills to manage anger, cravings, or overwhelming memories. She blends talk work with concrete steps so progress is easy to notice.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Applying attachment and skills-based approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions; in sessions this means tracing patterns and trying new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to ease anxiety, manage cravings, or reduce angry reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name their deeper feelings and use that clarity to change how they relate to partners or close others.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan when something isn’t helping. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and effective for the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues to work on communication and attachment patterns. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short reflections, coaching-style prompts, or quick emotional support into a busy day. All these formats increase flexibility and make regular work on goals easier to maintain.
