Lori Arceneaux, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Lori

Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience. She works mainly with families, couples, children, and teens to address everyday struggles. Lori focuses on practical steps to improve communication, reduce stress, and strengthen relationships.

Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and caregivers feel heard and understood. She spent much of her career supporting adolescents and their families through the ups and downs of growing up.

Background and approach

Lori often helps parents navigate blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and the emotional challenges that come with life transitions. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and trauma responses. In sessions she emphasizes clear, usable skills.

That can mean practicing new communication techniques, learning coping tools for strong emotions, or working on problem solving around parenting and family routines. Her work draws on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused methods to create changes that matter at home. Lori aims to create a caring, calm space where difficult topics can be spoken about honestly.

She partners with each person to identify strengths and practical next steps. Parents and family members looking for steady guidance often find this direct, supportive style helpful. She is licensed in Louisiana as an LCSW, and she offers counseling in English.

Lori welcomes people who want straightforward help with family and parenting challenges, relationship repair, or coping with life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online family support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel safe to share what matters most. It is helpful when parents or children need a nonjudgmental space to talk and figure out next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and for learning concrete coping skills that work at home.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps couples and family members better understand their emotional reactions and create closer bonds. It can be useful when improving connection and communication is a main goal.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lori works collaboratively to match methods to each family’s needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options, checks in on progress, and adjusts plans based on what is working.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let caregivers and teens meet from home, phone sessions can fit into tight schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short-term check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into family life while accessing licensed professionals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
