About Lorinda
Lorinda Wente is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Kansas with thirty years of experience offering plainspoken, steady support. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Parents who are tired or overwhelmed can find practical ways to cope.
She also addresses career strain, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. Her style is personable and interactive. Sessions focus on clear conversation and real skills rather than labels or jargon.
Background and approach
She listens closely and adapts the pace and topics to each person. Expect a respectful, compassionate tone in discussions. Lorinda draws from several therapy approaches to shape what happens in the room.
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person, cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas also appear when they help the work.
Over three decades she has supported people with trauma, military-related stressors, caregiving strain, and women’s issues, among other concerns. She pays attention to each person’s life story and practical needs when forming a plan. The result is a flexible, individualized approach focused on making day-to-day changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through a mix of formats to fit different schedules and needs. The goal is to help people build coping skills, reduce distress, and move toward their goals.

Approach choices and online therapy options
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. It is useful when someone wants a therapist who listens and helps them set the agenda for sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, includes skills for managing strong emotions, reducing self-destructive patterns, and improving relationships.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and situations. Video lets people see facial cues and have a face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, or shorter interactions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
