More about Lorinda
- 30 years' experience

- LCPC
I am a therapist licensed in Kansas with over 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, military-related stressors of dependents and active duty, career challenges, and specific women's issues. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is personable and interactive. I believe in treating all with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and rational-emotive therapy. You will see I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lorinda has been one of my most important support in my life for the past year and she is amazing. I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now if not for her and I thank her for that every day.
Lorinda is so perfect for me!!! She is a gift! She is so insightful and helpful.. And loving and caring… her prayers at the end of the session for me are so heartfelt and beautiful….. also when her cat, Mr. Kitty joins in, it's a hoot. I look forward to every session! I think of her as a true friend
Lorinda is so wonderful, I feel very lucky to have been matched with her. She listens and asks insightful questions that help get to the heart of the matter. I was so scared to start this process but she instantly put me at ease with her friendly nature. She made it so easy to have hard conversations. I highly recommend her!

Lorinda is someone who would support you to do what is best for you. She has helped me understand things and put things in better perspective
I was very hesitant to do therapy; Lorinda will remember from how guarded I was in the first session. However, by the end of that session I was just talking away. Lorinda has an ability to put a person at ease. I was sharing about everything within 30 minutes. I always feel better after a session with Lorinda; she is an amazing therapist.
Lorinda is kind, understanding, and non-judgemental, along with having excellent insights and suggestions.
Lorinda has been absolutely amazing; I’ve spent time in therapy both in person and digitally, and never thought I’d be able to adjust to digital therapy. However, Lorinda has made the adjustment so natural and speaking with her has helped me so much
Lorinda is very comforting and easy to talk to. She’s very reassuring when you feel guilty about making things all about yourself. She’s fun to talk to on the side if you feel lonely and overall, she’s simply amazing.
Oh my gosh, one day with her and I am so comforted and I am so relieved to get someone who seems so intelligent and so understanding! She is amazing, I’ve had so many responses today- she makes me feel like a priority- definitely am finally getting my money’s worth!
I am in a much better place after my sessions with Lorinda. She is very easy to talk to and is always available to hear my concerns.
Lorinda is very easy to talk to and she makes sessions very easy
