Lorinda Wente, LCPC - Therapist in Kansas

About Lorinda

Lorinda Wente is a licensed clinical professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience in Kansas. She focuses on practical problems parents and families commonly face, like stress, anxiety, parenting worries, relationship strain, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is personable and down-to-earth, so sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful.

She uses clear conversation to help people identify what matters and try different ways to respond. Her work blends several counseling approaches to match each person's situation.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports exploring feelings in close relationships, and Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person's perspective central.

Sessions tend to be interactive rather than purely lecture-based. The therapist listens, reflects, and suggests concrete steps to try between meetings. Many people leave a session with a small practice or experiment to use during the week.

Lorinda holds the license LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She brings three decades of clinical work to each conversation. Services are provided in English and are based in Kansas.

For practical matters, sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's perspective at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace to help clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines, which can be useful for parenting stress and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. A plan may combine listening, emotion-focused work, and practical skills so the approach fits the situation rather than forcing one method.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions provide a simpler option when screens are difficult, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These formats help fit counseling into busy family schedules and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
