About Lori

Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She creates a warm, caring space where people can talk about hard things and begin to make changes. Lori focuses on relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and codependency among other concerns.

Her approach begins by listening and building trust. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. Lori also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.

Emotionally-focused ideas and the Gottman Method guide her work on relationship and communication struggles. Those approaches focus on understanding emotions, repairing connection, and developing clearer ways to talk about problems. Mindfulness practices are included to help people manage strong feelings and stay grounded in daily life.

Lori has long experience helping parents navigate the strain of caregiving and other family stresses, and she supports people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and fertility or separation concerns. She also helps with body image, first responder stress, and forgiveness work.

She invites clients to identify strengths and build practical skills for real situations. Lori encourages small, steady steps and partners with people to find solutions that fit their lives. To begin, readers can follow the site's process to see if her style feels like a good match.

Approach-driven care for online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and following their pace. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core emotions and repair patterns that hurt relationships. It can be useful for improving communication and rebuilding connection after conflict. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust methods as needs change. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during short breaks. Some formats require less bandwidth, or make it simpler to use audio-only when a visual setup is difficult. Discussing practical needs during the intake will help decide what will work best for scheduling and day-to-day life.
