Arthur Scudari, LPC

Arthur Scudari is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 18 years of counseling experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career matters and coping with life changes. He also works with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and separation-related difficulties.

He approaches sessions from a client-centered stance. That means listening first and following the pace and priorities the person brings. Arthur regularly uses mindfulness exercises, breathing work, and meditation practices during sessions to help calm strong emotions and improve moment-to-moment awareness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one tool he uses to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes in behavior. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and connection are central to the concern. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear in shorter-term work aimed at clear goals and forward steps.

Arthur describes counseling as a place to speak with someone who does not already know your story. He emphasizes steady listening and avoiding interruptions during sessions. He also says he treats disclosures seriously and follows legal exceptions related to safety as required by law.

People who contact him can expect straightforward conversation and practical exercises to try between sessions. He asks clients to consider breathing and mindfulness practices as part of the work. The focus tends to be on reducing reactivity, improving communication, and making concrete adjustments that fit day-to-day life.
