Lori Arceneaux, LCSW

Lori Arceneaux is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. Lori also addresses self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.

Lori has spent much of her career working with children, teenagers, and families. She focuses on helping people navigate the emotional shifts of adolescence and the strains that family life can create. She has substantial experience supporting couples and family members who want to strengthen communication and resolve recurring conflicts.

In sessions she listens for real patterns that cause problems at home. She helps clients name what's happening, try different ways of talking, and practice skills that reduce stress. Common steps include identifying strengths, rehearsing communication, and setting small goals to change daily routines.

Her work draws on practical approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, the Gottman Method for relationships, and mindfulness. These are used to address parenting issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and commitment or codependency problems.

People also consult her for issues like abandonment, body image, fertility stress, first responder strain, and recovery after disasters. Lori helps clients break large problems into manageable pieces and move toward clearer decisions.
