More about me

Licensing: LCPC, MS Years in Practice: 30 State: Missouri

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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lorinda is amazing. She reminds me of one of my favorite calm, sweet professors from graduate school. She never ever judges and has great ways of seeing all sides of issues. I’m so thankful for her.

Lorinda is professional, & personal

Lorinda is a very kind, understanding, and loving person! She doesn't make our sessions boring but laughs a lot and makes talking about the hard stuff easy and not so depressing! I would recommed her to everyone! :)

Lorinda is a wonderful encourager, listener, and empathized. She has helped me understand more about myself and others, and has stuck with me through some hard seasons. I would highly recommend working with her!

I have learned so much and really appreciate all the help!

Very knowledge, caring, and understanding! I had to come back to her. I’m glad I found a therapist that I can keep. I highly recommend her!

Finding a therapist can be daunting and difficult. Luckily-I found Lorinda on the first try. She reminds me of one of my favorite college professors who’s cool and calm demeanor gives such a welcoming space to discuss and exist. If you want a calm and loving presence, Lorinda is your person!

Lorinda is wonderful, insightful and has helped me navigate through a rough time.

I am happy to be working with Lorinda again. She is a very calming presence.

It's been nice getting to talk through things with Lorinda. She's good at hearing me out then providing insight on the issues at hand.

Wonderful therapist who quickly understood my needs.

It has been great with Lorinda!

She welcomes me back even after a long break when I can't afford the service. She's patient and understands my concerns as best she can.

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!

She is fantastic

Lorinda continues to be incredibly helpful, providing cognitive assessment tools and behavioral modification ideas to assist me in managing test anxiety.

Does a good job for me

She is an amazing therapist who helps me in a timely manner. She helps me with understanding things that I don’t really understand about myself

Lorinda has been wonderful! She’s extremely invested in helping me become the best version of myself!

So far Lorinda has been extremely helpful. She has listened to my concerns and provided me with actionable strategies to begin regaining confidence and a resolution to test anxiety. She is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I highly recommend her.

Lorinda has been a great confidante and help. She listens, responds and relates well to me. This is my first time with counseling and it’s been a fantastic experience. I appreciate BetterHelp!

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
