Lorinda Wente, LCPC

Lorinda Wente is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. She also addresses grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is personable and interactive. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now and practical steps to manage feelings and behavior. She uses a mix of methods to help people change patterns that keep them stuck rather than relying on labels or blame.

Over three decades she has worked with people facing military-related stressors, women's issues, and family-of-origin concerns. That background shapes how she notices patterns that repeat across relationships and work life. Her experience includes helping people who have lived through emotional abuse and trauma.

Her methods include client-centered listening plus cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness work to help people regulate intense emotions and communicate more effectively.

Sessions aim to clarify what triggers anger or resentment and to build practical skills for managing those moments. Conversations include setting small goals, trying new responses, and checking what actually helps in daily life. People leave with concrete strategies to reduce snapping, lower stress, and rebuild connection after conflict.
