About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Texas. She brings six years of clinical experience and a background that blends talk therapy with practical problem-solving. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, parenting issues, and anger management.
She favors clear, direct conversations where people feel heard. Sessions center on understanding what led someone here and what changes they want to make. Laverna uses approaches that help people process painful memories, change unhelpful thoughts, and improve emotional bonds with others.
Background and approach
Her clinical background includes Attachment-Based methods that look at relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques aimed at strengthening emotional connection. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems active, and on EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Laverna’s prior work as a registered nurse and hospice caregiver informs her approach to grief and end-of-life topics.
That history means she is comfortable talking about loss, guilt, and the practical side of difficult life transitions. She brings calm, practical guidance to sensitive conversations. In sessions, she helps people learn new ways to handle anger, rebuild trust after conflict, manage anxiety, and sleep better.
The tone is collaborative and solution-focused, with steps people can try between meetings. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients who can schedule from Texas time zones.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people see how they react in close relationships and learn different ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners or individuals identify and reshape emotional responses so they feel safer and more understood in relationships.Choosing an approach is a joint effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your situation. You can try one approach and adapt the plan as you go, combining methods when that makes sense.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face across distances. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling between meetings, or when a shorter, written exchange fits your schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
