About Lorinda
Lorinda Wente is a Kansas-licensed clinical counselor with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship pain. She addresses parenting stress, intimacy concerns, and issues that come from trauma or emotional abuse. Lorinda works with people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to identity and LGBT experiences.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats clients with respect and sensitivity. Lorinda draws on several therapy methods to fit each person's needs. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools that target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas are used to build awareness and strengthen relationships. In session she helps people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways to respond to anger or stress. She also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, and control struggles when those problems come up.
Work can include building coping skills for seasonal mood shifts and obsessive or phobic patterns. Lorinda holds a Kansas Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential - LCPC. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Approach and online options for managing strong emotions
Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening and making space for a person's experience. The therapist uses reflective listening and validation to help someone feel heard and to clarify what change would look like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as they learn what works best. That way sessions stay focused and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
