About Audrey

Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) based in Kansas who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside relational approaches to help clients navigate change.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills-building with attention to emotional patterns and attachment dynamics, supporting work around sexual concerns, substance and behavioral issues, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. Her training includes supervised work specifically focused on these areas, and she emphasizes practical steps toward healthier patterns.

Audrey engages with individuals, couples, and families across the life span, offering a collaborative atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. She frames change as a process that can be both difficult and rewarding, and she partners with clients to set attainable goals related to intimacy, addiction, parenting, communication, and coping with life transitions.

Appointments are available Mondays through Thursdays from 8am to 11am, and she works with clients using a range of remote session formats to fit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Audrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, addictive patterns, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and early bonding experiences that influence current relationship dynamics, which can be especially useful for couples and family work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports deeper exploration of emotions and interaction cycles to strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person or couple to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques from these approaches so the work feels practical and relevant. Clients are invited to give feedback throughout so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity across life changes. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and access to licensed professionals without geographic constraints, helping clients stay engaged with their therapeutic goals.
