Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT

Audrey Lahodny, LCMFT, focuses on helping people navigate difficult changes in their relationships and personal lives. She works with individuals, couples, and families to address sexual concerns, substance or behavior issues, and experiences of abusive or violent behavior in relationships. Her approach is warm and direct, and she encourages people to take small, practical steps toward better days.

With 10 years of clinical work in Kansas, she blends several therapy approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform her work with partners facing recurrent conflict or disconnection.

Audrey emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can name hard feelings and try new ways of relating. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change, especially around addictions and behavior concerns. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies people can use between meetings.

She brings experience with trauma, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, caregiver stress, codependency, and boundary work. Audrey also addresses complicated family situations such as adoption and blended family dynamics. Her work aims to help people rebuild trust in relationships and regain confidence in themselves.

How attachment and emotion-focused approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect today. It helps clients understand recurring fights, trust issues, and closeness problems so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for mood, anxiety, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what feels most manageable, then adjusts methods as people learn what helps. Sessions are paced to match how quickly someone wants to move and what fits into their daily life.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes check-ins easier during work breaks, and reduces commuting time. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when video would be difficult, or video when visual connection feels important. The focus is on helping therapy fit into everyday life while using approaches like attachment work and CBT to guide practical change.
