About Audrey

Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT, helps people navigate big life transitions and relationship pain. She focuses on sexual concerns, substance and behavior problems, and patterns of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. Audrey communicates in plain, direct language and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She has practiced as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Kansas for 10 years. That experience includes work with individuals, couples, and families across a range of concerns. Clients come for help with addiction, anger, trauma, parenting stress, and struggles with intimacy and communication.

Audrey uses several therapy methods to match what people need in the moment. She draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and emotional safety. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also brings in emotionally-focused and Gottman approaches for couples work, and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Sessions aim to be a place to talk honestly about what is happening, try new ways of relating, and practice skills between meetings. She frames change as a step-by-step process and partners with people to set practical goals.

Audrey also helps people cope with larger disruptions, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She encourages clear, doable next steps and offers coaching around caregiving strain, career shifts, and self-esteem struggles.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps couples recognize underlying emotions that drive conflict and learn new ways to respond to each other.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with CBT exercises or using motivational interviewing to boost readiness before other work begins.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also make it simpler to include coaching around caregiving, career shifts, or recovery tasks between sessions. The therapist will help plan session timing and focus to fit everyday routines and goals.
