About Anastasia

Anastasia Arceneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 17 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, eating concerns, and anger.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people better manage upsetting feelings and difficult situations. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and learning practical ways to cope. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, trauma-informed practices, and motivational interviewing to shape the work.

Her background includes a Master’s in Psychological Counseling and a Specialist degree in School Psychology. She has worked in different mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults. Over her career she has supported clients facing self-injury, parenting stress, relational conflict, and other complex challenges.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgment and to treat each person as the expert on their life. Goals are set together and progress is checked in plain terms. EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma-related work, alongside mindfulness techniques and CBT-based strategies for managing strong emotions and anger.

People who come to her often want clear, practical tools and steady support. She helps clients break down large problems into manageable steps, practice new responses, and build on existing strengths.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood so they can make changes that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing trauma-related memories and reducing their emotional intensity when trauma is a central issue.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made or challenges shift.

The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
