Lorinda Wente , LCPC

Lorinda Wente is a licensed clinical professional counselor with three decades of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma or emotional abuse, grief, and women's issues. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical help and clear next steps.

She uses a personable and interactive style in sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what feels manageable. She focuses on real-life coping skills as well as understanding the feelings behind a problem.

Lorinda blends several approaches to meet specific concerns. That can mean working on unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotional skills for relationships, and practicing moment-to-moment awareness. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, military-related stressors for dependents and active duty, and parenting challenges. She also supports clients facing career strain, compassion fatigue, OCD-related concerns, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem.

Sessions are offered by a Kansas LCPC and conducted in English. People can expect a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation aimed at making daily life easier and more manageable.

Approach-driven care available online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decide on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as things change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter format fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
