Anastasia Arceneaux, LPC

Anastasia Arceneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 17 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and relationship and family issues. Sessions are practical and focused on what feels most important to the client.

Arceneaux uses a blend of client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools are part of the work for building small, manageable changes.

Her background includes a Master's in Psychological Counseling and a Specialist in School Psychology. She has worked in several mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults, and holds multiple behavioral health certifications. That range informs how she talks about parenting stress, attachment concerns, and blended-family dynamics.

In sessions she keeps things straightforward and nonjudgmental. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Conversations focus on concrete next steps rather than abstract theory.

Common topics she addresses include ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, addiction, caregiver stress, abandonment and adoption or foster care questions. She also works with people facing separation, domestic violence histories, and communication or control issues within families.

People who choose her often want clear techniques to reduce symptoms and practical help handling family and parenting strain. She encourages questions about approach and prefers collaborative planning about goals and homework between sessions.
