About Lorinda
Lorinda Wente is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and emotional abuse, and issues related to caregiving and women’s life transitions. She also addresses intimacy questions, grief, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns for LGBT adults.
Lorinda’s style is personable and interactive. She keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening at home and what can change next week. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Her approach blends several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Mindfulness strategies are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on how emotions shape relationship patterns.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and on psychodynamic ideas to look at family of origin patterns. Those tools are mixed based on the present concern and the person’s preferences. Practical skills and short-term strategies are balanced with deeper exploration when needed.
Clients can expect clear discussion of goals and frequent checking in about progress. Lorinda uses plain language and concrete steps so therapy fits into everyday life. To begin, people use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Lorinda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT sessions are often concrete and problem-focused, which can help with parenting challenges, mood, and coping strategies. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas appear when relationship or intimacy concerns are present. That work helps people notice emotion-driven patterns and practice new emotional responses in everyday interactions. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process; Lorinda collaborates with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs, and preferences.
