Lori Arceneaux, LCSW

Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience in Louisiana. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people take the next step when things feel overwhelming.

She has spent much of her career supporting children, teenagers, and parents as they navigate adolescent emotions and family transitions. Lori also has extensive experience helping people improve communication and manage everyday stressors that affect relationships. She often starts by identifying a person's strengths and building from there.

Her sessions emphasize clear goals and simple tools that can be used at home. Lori works alongside each person to practice new ways of talking, problem solving, and coping. She encourages small changes that add up to more stable routines and calmer days.

People come to Lori for a wide range of concerns, including depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also helps with specific situations such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, fertility questions, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused ideas, the Gottman method for relationship work, and mindfulness practices. Lori aims to create a welcoming space where practical steps and steady support help people move toward the life they want.

Approaches that guide online sessions and goals

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters to them, which is useful when stress or life changes feel overwhelming.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and improving everyday coping.

Emotionally-focused ideas concentrate on feelings and attachment needs within relationships. This approach can help people improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those needs. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and Lori works collaboratively to find what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and mindfulness work to an online setting so therapy fits into everyday life.
