Anastasia Arceneaux, LPC

Anastasia Arceneaux uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 17 years of experience in counseling.

She works in a direct, respectful way and focuses on what people want to change. Sessions often include clear tools to cope with strong emotions and to address negative thought patterns. Anastasia emphasizes listening first and tailoring strategies to each person’s needs.

Her background includes work in school and mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults. That range gives her experience with parenting concerns, adoption and foster care topics, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics. She also helps people facing grief, caregiver stress, addiction struggles, and major life transitions.

Anastasia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered approaches, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used together to reduce symptoms, improve daily coping, and build practical skills people can use between sessions.

She values a nonjudgmental relationship and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Anastasia encourages clients to identify their strengths and to set realistic steps toward the changes they want. The focus is on collaboration and steady progress.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online

Her online work uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. EMDR is offered as a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and lower their emotional intensity. Client-centered techniques prioritize understanding, validation, and building on a person’s strengths to motivate change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Sessions combine practical skill-building with time to talk through immediate concerns and plan next steps.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, phone can be a quicker option with less bandwidth, and messaging or chat supports shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. This range helps people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping care consistent.
