About Anastasia
Anastasia Arceneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear. Her style centers on listening and building trust so clients feel heard from the start.
With 17 years in counseling, she has worked in a variety of mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults.
Background and approach
That background informs how she tailors sessions to each person's situation. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive-behavioral methods and client-centered conversation. Anastasia also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people find steady ways to cope.
She has experience addressing trauma and abuse and uses approaches that include EMDR alongside other methods when appropriate. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as grief, addictions, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum challenges, caregiver stress, and domestic violence recovery.
People can expect a nonjudgmental tone and a partnership-oriented approach. Anastasia emphasizes that the client is the expert in their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths. She aims to help clients practice new skills between sessions and make steady, realistic progress.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anastasia commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people name their goals. That approach is about following the client's lead and making space for their concerns before choosing specific techniques.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to teach practical skills. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. EMDR is another method she includes for trauma-related work when appropriate; it is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, past attempts, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments happen over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing through thoughts feels more helpful. These options aim to make regular care easier to fit into busy lives.
