About Audrey
Audrey Lahodny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strains, parenting stress, substance and sexual concerns, trauma and abusive behavior in relationships, and related life changes. Her work covers issues like intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Audrey offers straightforward, practical support. She listens to the problem adults bring about home life and relationships. She lays out concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented, not long on jargon.
Her background includes extended supervision and hands-on work with sexual concerns, substance and behavioral problems, and interpersonal abuse. That experience informs how she assesses risk, safety, and boundaries in relationships. She brings techniques from attachment work and structured, skills-based therapies to those areas.
Audrey uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. You might use attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, emotion-focused methods to name and regulate feelings, or cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on tools from the Gottman Method and motivational interviewing when they fit the problem.
Sessions are practical and aimed at changes people can notice in everyday life. She helps people sort parenting strain, communication problems, blended family questions, caregiving stress, and the effects of abandonment or separation. Audrey works with the individual adult who brings those concerns and helps them find clearer ways forward.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Audrey draws on attachment-based work to map how early and current relationships shape reactions and closeness. This approach helps when patterns of withdrawal, fear of abandonment, or repeated conflict show up in adult relationships.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work through strong feelings that drive distance or escalation. EFT helps people notice what emotions sit under anger, withdrawal, or hurt and practice new ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the problem and the person's style. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback show what helps most.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to continue work on relationship, parenting, and coping issues from wherever they live while coordinating times that fit everyday life.
