Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT

Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) based in Kansas with 10 years of experience. She focuses on changes in relationships and personal life, helping people navigate painful moments and hopeful ones. Audrey aims to create a space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her work centers on sexual concerns, substance and behavior issues, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. She also helps with addictions, intimacy problems, parenting stress, anger, trauma, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Audrey draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person who comes to sessions.

In practice she uses attachment perspectives to look at how close relationships shape responses. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and change actions. Emotionally focused and Gottman-informed techniques guide work on connection and communication for partners. Motivational interviewing supports readiness to change when substance or behavior patterns are present.

Audrey works with individuals, couples, and families and supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. She has experience assisting people after natural or human-caused disasters and with co-occurring challenges.

Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit their needs.

How Audrey's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how someone reacts and connects. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in bonding, closeness, and trust and practice new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions. In an online setting CBT often includes clear goal-setting, thought records, and homework to try between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift strong emotional responses that block connection. Working together in sessions, the therapist supports people in recognizing core feelings and trying new interaction steps to improve closeness and reduce reactive cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. That collaboration can include adjusting techniques as needs change over time.

The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into busy lives. It can make it easier to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during short breaks or between commitments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what will fit your schedule and needs.
