About Audrey
Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship pain, addiction, and parenting challenges. Her approach centers on building stronger connections and practical skills that make day-to-day life easier.
Audrey uses approaches drawn from attachment work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, recognize patterns that cause harm, and practice new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Audrey has worked extensively with sexual concerns, substance and behavior problems, and situations involving abusive or violent behavior in relationships. She aims to create a calm space where people can name what is happening and plan safer, healthier steps forward.
She supports people who are dealing with grief, anger, or changes in family roles. Parents often find her straightforward guidance useful for managing conflict, improving communication, and setting boundaries. She also assists people facing career strain, caregiver stress, or confusing shifts in identity after major life changes.
Her work balances emotional understanding with concrete strategies. Audrey describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set goals and practices that fit each person's life.
The first step is usually a short intake to clarify immediate needs and plan follow-up sessions.

Using attachment work and CBT online
Audrey often blends attachment-based approaches with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in close relationships and helps partners or individuals identify and shift interaction patterns that cause distress. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors to reduce stress and improve coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Audrey collaborates with each person to clarify goals and pick methods that fit their needs and lifestyle. She typically starts by listening, then suggests a mix of strategies and checks in to see what is working.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, ongoing coaching between sessions, or flexible communication when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to keep progress steady while balancing family, work, and other demands.
