Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with over 18 years of experience. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with those touched by foster care and/or adoption. For the majority of my career, I have worked with children and teenagers. I enjoy working with these age groups and assisting them with navigating the often complex emotions that accompany adolescence. Also, I have worked extensively with families and couples. Many of these clients were in need of assistance with strengthening and improving their relationships, improving their communication, and managing the various stressors in their lives.
I strive to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment where my clients can work through obstacles, struggles and past traumas to reach a successful solution. I partner with each individual to help them achieve the life they desire. I work with each individual to identify and build upon their unique strengths and to find more positive and productive ways of communicating and problem solving.
Sometimes making the first step can be the most difficult one once an individual has decided to seek counseling. I am committed to providing a welcoming and compassionate setting so my client and I can develop a healthy and effective therapeutic relationship. I'm here to help.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lori Arceneaux. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mrs Arceneaux is very kind, genuine, thoughtful and very intelligent therapist. I could have put way more positive words about her in this review, so I put the ones that I feel the most about her work she has done with me. She has helped me tremendously and I look fwd to our meetings every week, although my punctuality hasn't been the best. She's been very patient and accomadating. Thank you very much.

I love working with Lori. I appreciate how she listens to my problems and gives me a better insight into how I can resolve them. I have had a few therapists in the past and I feel like Lori works with me to find the best way for me to have a positive experience when we meet.
