About Lorinda
Lorinda Wente is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses codependency and related patterns that leave people prioritizing others at their own expense.
Her style is conversational and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than labels. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck, such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or getting lost in another person’s problems. Then she helps clients try new ways of responding in everyday life.
Lorinda draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that reinforce anxiety or low mood. She also uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client and emotionally focused ideas to address attachment or intimacy concerns. Mindfulness skills are introduced to reduce reactivity and build steady coping.
Over three decades she has supported people through life transitions, career stress, caregiving burdens, and recovery from emotional harm. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, steadier self-esteem, and more balanced relationships. Conversations are pragmatic and paced to the client’s needs.
If you want to test different ways of responding to others or to stop living around another person’s moods, she helps you break those patterns step by step.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and perspective. It means the therapist follows what matters most and adjusts pace and topics to the person. This approach helps when someone wants to unpack relationship patterns or clarify personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for people who want clear tools to change daily reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer boundaries. It can help when intense feelings or impulsive reactions make relationships harder.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered so you can plan logistics. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the mentioned methods to work over distance while focusing on practical skills and clearer relationship boundaries.
