Anastasia Arceneaux , LPC

Anastasia Arceneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She brings 17 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable for someone taking the first step.

She uses client-centered work to focus on each person's priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her practice and helps break down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns into practical steps. She also incorporates trauma-focused methods to address past hurts and their present effects.

Anastasia has worked in school and mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults, and her background includes support for people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She also attends to issues like abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and domestic violence when they come up in sessions.

Her style is direct and nonjudgmental. She aims to listen first, then help clients set small, manageable goals. Motivational interviewing is one tool she uses to help people find what will actually work in their lives.

People who choose her often want practical strategies for day-to-day coping and clearer ways to handle relationships, parenting, or career stress. She encourages clients to take ownership of their stories and taps into their strengths as part of the work together.

Approaches used in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client's priorities. The therapist encourages people to describe what matters most and then supports them in choosing goals and steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and personal preferences and will suggest methods that match those priorities. That choice happens collaboratively so clients can try approaches and adjust as they go.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or when travel is difficult.
