Lorinda Wente, LCPC

Lorinda Wente is a Kansas-based therapist with more than 30 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, parenting concerns, and trauma. She also supports those facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

Her style is personable and interactive. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps people can try between meetings. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity.

Lorinda draws from several therapeutic approaches to fit what a person needs. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person's goals. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness techniques are used when managing strong emotions and stress.

She also integrates emotionally focused and psychodynamic elements when exploring relationship patterns and past experiences that matter now. The result is a plan shaped to each person's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Lorinda explains options plainly and adjusts approaches as progress is made.

People who want to begin are guided through a simple onboarding process to match goals and schedule sessions. Language of service is English and practice operates from Kansas.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the person's goals lead the conversation while the therapist provides support and reflection. It helps when someone needs a space to sort priorities and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits people want to change because it gives clear tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session options before booking. Ask which formats the therapist currently offers and how scheduling works. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel so meetings fit around work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered methods to an online setting so exercises and skill practice still happen between meetings.
