Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT

Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) based in Kansas who centers her practice on helping people navigate change in their relationships and personal lives. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and relational approaches to help people make concrete shifts in behavior and communication. Audrey speaks plainly and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation.

Her work often focuses on sexual and intimacy concerns, substance and behavior-related issues, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. She also helps with parenting stress, career transitions, grief around separation or divorce, and problems with self-esteem and boundaries. Practical steps and clear goals are part of how she structures sessions.

Audrey uses attachment-centered ideas to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to improve closeness and repair communication. Motivational Interviewing supports work around change and relapse prevention when addictions are involved.

With ten years of clinical experience, she blends talk, skill-building, and real-world homework people can try between sessions. Sessions may include brief coaching, role-plays, or worksheets depending on the concern. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Audrey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and relationships. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and habit change. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and to build safer emotional connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help partners or individuals understand and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck and to build greater closeness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences, then tailor a plan that mixes techniques from different approaches as needed. Clients help set goals and decide what to try between sessions to track real progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face across distance, phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging supports quick notes, check-ins, or ongoing coaching between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
