Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT

Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT, focuses on helping people navigate major life changes and relationship struggles. She frames therapy as a practical place to look at what's not working and try different ways of coping. Audrey aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

Audrey brings ten years of professional experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Kansas. She helps people dealing with sexual concerns, substance or behavior issues, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. Sessions emphasize clear communication and realistic steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends methods that look at emotions, thought patterns, and relationship dynamics. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify core emotions. Attachment-based ideas and the Gottman Method inform work on trust and communication in close relationships.

Audrey also supports people facing parenting stress, career shifts, burnout and compassion fatigue, or the ripple effects of trauma. She works with issues like abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, and caregiving strain in straightforward language. Sessions focus on practical strategies and steady progress rather than technical jargon.

People who reach out start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session that fits the therapist's availability. Audrey aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment, and she partners with clients as they try new ways of moving forward.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Audrey commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express core emotions, which can improve closeness and reduce conflict. This approach is useful for relationship strain and intimacy concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, mood shifts, addiction-related thinking, and making practical changes day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Audrey will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may shift as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people meet from wherever they are while keeping therapy focused on specific goals and everyday problem solving.
