About Lori
Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes among her focus areas.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotion-focused methods. That means sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways to respond. Lori also uses relationship tools such as the Gottman Method and mindfulness practices to address communication and emotional patterns.
In practical terms she helps people identify patterns that get in the way. Conversations include skill-building for communication and problem solving. She works with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family topics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment concerns, and family of origin problems.
Lori has experience addressing divorce and separation, fertility worries, first responder issues, forgiveness, and reactions to natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions often include grounding and mindfulness exercises alongside CBT-style behavior experiments and communication practice.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward planning and clear steps. That might mean setting a small goal between sessions, practicing a new response, or trying a different way to talk about a problem. People who want concrete, structured work on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns will find this orientation easy to understand.
How CBT and Relationship Work Translate to Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can speak about what matters most; this approach helps when someone needs a steady presence while sorting emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and uses short experiments and practice to test new responses; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in relationships and on improving patterns of communication and connection.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan as needed. That process usually involves checking which techniques are helping and setting small, concrete goals for between-session practice.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also supports practices like guided mindfulness, structured CBT exercises, and role-play for communication skills without requiring an in-person visit.
