About Lori
Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience. She offers a calm, supportive approach for people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Lori practices in Louisiana and speaks English.
She accepts international clients and provides care through multiple online formats. Her style centers on helping people name their concerns and find practical ways forward. Lori uses client-centered conversation to follow each person's priorities.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused methods to improve close relationships. Parents often seek her help for communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and general parenting stress. Lori also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, body image, and coping after loss or a disaster.
She aims to help clients build on strengths and try small, realistic changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills to use between meetings. Lori pays attention to how people relate to others and to themselves, and she practices mindfulness-based strategies for stress management.
She works collaboratively to tailor tools to each person's life and schedule. Starting therapy typically involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. Lori emphasizes a welcoming tone so people can feel comfortable taking the first step toward change.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns and supports the client's own problem-solving. This approach helps people who need a judgment-free space to sort out parenting decisions or relationship stresses.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. In sessions, clients learn simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lori will work with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort with online formats. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families and people with limited time. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and teach skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
