Nenette Keenan, LMFT

Compassionate, practical therapy for life’s hardest moments

About Nenette

Nenette Keenan is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Louisiana and brings a calm, practical approach to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship strain.

Background and approach

Nenette starts by listening and helping people name what matters to them. She frames clients as experts in their own lives and builds plans around their strengths and goals.

Her usual sessions focus on clear, actionable steps. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going.

She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Nenette offers trauma-focused tools such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for clients who have histories of abuse or disturbing memories.

Emotionally-focused ideas are used when people want to repair connection and improve communication. The therapist mixes approaches to fit each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script.

Sessions are practical and paced to what the client can handle. Nenette helps with specific problems like caregiver stress, codependency, body image and managing impulses.

She also supports people through family conflict, divorce and forgiveness work. Her goal is to make change feel doable.

She helps set small goals, track progress, and adjust the plan when needed. Beginning therapy is noted as a courageous step and she aims to meet people where they are and move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect present relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people understand patterns like fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others and offers ways to change those patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviors link together. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits for anxiety, low mood, and impulsivity.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used for processing traumatic memories. It aims to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful, then recommend a plan that combines methods when needed. Clients are involved in decisions about pace and focus throughout treatment.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work similar to an office visit. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, focused conversations during a break. These formats make it easier to keep consistent contact and adapt sessions to each person’s schedule.
