Nenette Keenan, LMFT

Nenette Keenan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing with ten years of professional experience in Louisiana. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Nenette describes clients as the experts of their own stories and works collaboratively to build on their existing strengths.

Her approach centers on clear, direct conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and testing small, workable changes. Nenette uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral methods alongside attachment-focused ideas to address how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

She also integrates emotionally-focused strategies to help people name and work through strong emotions. For those who have experienced traumatic events, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is among the tools she may use to reduce distress tied to memories. Treatment choices are discussed together rather than imposed.

Nenette pays attention to how family roles and past losses influence current struggles. She regularly addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and patterns like codependency and control problems. Communication skills and managing impulsivity are common practical goals.

Sessions also cover difficult feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. People who want help making sense of what comes next after a life change may find her focus on life purpose helpful. She asks clients to set clear goals and reviews progress together as therapy continues.
