About Lori
Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Lori also addresses related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and communication problems.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside methods like the Gottman Method and mindfulness. In sessions she helps people name difficult emotions and notice how those feelings affect their interactions. She works with individuals to improve communication, manage stress, and cope with life changes.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Lori helps clients identify strengths and practice new ways of handling conflicts. She talks through real situations and offers tools that can be used between sessions.
Over her career Lori has spent significant time helping people affected by family dynamics, parenting strain, and relationship breakdowns. That background informs how she notices patterns and suggests small changes that add up over time.
Getting started involves a straightforward first step: choose an online therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule the initial session. Lori accepts clients who prefer working in English and will work together to set goals and plan next steps.
How EFT, client-centered work and CBT translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape interactions. It is often used when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are hard to name. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, listening closely and responding to what matters most in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another and provides practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean using EFT ideas to map emotional patterns, bringing in CBT tools for coping skills, or using client-centered listening to guide sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm her current offerings before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Many therapists use video or phone options to match a client's needs, and Lori will discuss which option works best during the initial scheduling step.
