About Lorinda
Lorinda Wente is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and related problems such as intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career transitions, LGBT concerns, and women's issues.
Her style is personable and interactive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on clear conversation about what is happening now. Sessions are practical and problem-focused, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that keep problems going.
Wente uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and emotionally focused concepts when they help. That mix is used to notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and build steady skills for day-to-day life.
Her work includes addressing family of origin issues, codependency, control problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with obsessive and phobic concerns, including OCD and post-traumatic stress. Seasonal affective disorder and body image are also within her focus.
People who choose her can expect structured conversations, skill practice, and concrete suggestions to test between sessions. She frames therapy as a series of steps to change patterns rather than a single quick fix. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and managing worry by using short experiments and practice tasks. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and responding to what the person says, helping them organize thoughts and priorities. It supports people who need a clear, respectful space to talk through decisions and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can reduce crisis-driven reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose approaches based on goals, how a person learns, and what feels practical. That decision can shift over time as skills are tried and adjusted together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session style that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and goal focused while helping people build skills they can use day to day.
