About Me

Hello! My name is Jacki Lorio, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over nine years of experience serving Louisiana families, children, and individuals through life’s many transitions. My work—whether in therapy, parenting and family support, adoption, or supervised visitation—is rooted in compassion, clarity, and the belief that everyone is capable of healing and growth.

Professional Experience

My career began with the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), where I served for 7-years as a foster care worker and child protection investigator. This experience gave me deep insight into the needs, strengths, and complexities facing families and children in challenging circumstances. I later served as the Grief Program Manager at The Retreat at Quarters Lake—developed by The Hospice of Baton Rouge—where I helped transform a new facility into a thriving grief center for children and adults. I designed and implemented programs, specialized groups, and a curriculum for a children’s grief summer camp (ages 6–17).

Therapeutic Approach

My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, drawing on Trust-Based Relational Intervention™ (TBRI®), creative therapeutic techniques, and flexible, evidence-based strategies. Whether supporting a child navigating loss, a parent facing everyday struggles, or individuals needing high-access, personalized care, I strive to meet each client with trust, collaboration, and practical guidance.

Education

I earned my bachelor's degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and my master's degree from Louisiana State University. My client-centered, holistic approach ensures a safe space for exploring emotions and developing effective coping strategies.

Private Practice

Whatever you are facing—personal healing, adoption, family transitions, or a need for real-time concierge support—I am committed to creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and empowered to create lasting change.
