Lori ArceneauxLCSW

Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of practice in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and grief. Lori aims to create a warm, caring space where people can talk through hard moments and begin to move forward.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Much of her background includes work related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and fertility concerns. She has also helped clients facing first responder stress, caregiver strain, and communication breakdowns.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring tools to each person's needs. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Emotionally-focused ideas and the Gottman Method inform how she addresses relationship challenges and communication patterns.

Lori partners with people to identify strengths, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of relating. Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, learning practical skills, and trying small changes between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People considering therapy are invited to think about what matters most to them and what they hope to change. Lori brings an empathetic, steady presence and practical tools to help people navigate parenting pressures, relationship setbacks, and major life changes.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy starts by listening and following the person's lead. It focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths to set helpful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns to improve closeness and communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools learned in session right where they live. Licensed professionals, including therapists with Lori's background, often combine listening with skill-building to help people manage relationship issues, parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
