Laverna Soucie

Laverna Soucie is an LPC with six years of counseling experience. She works from a whole-person perspective and draws on earlier clinical work to shape practical therapy sessions. Laverna is based in Texas and uses her background to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and career questions.

Laverna’s approach is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on real-life changes like sleep, parenting strain, anger, and navigating big life transitions.

Her clinical tools come from several approaches and are chosen to match each person’s needs. She uses techniques that address negative thinking patterns, relationship cycles, and attachment wounds. For people who have experienced trauma, she includes trauma-informed methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Before counseling, Laverna spent many years as a registered nurse and worked in hospice care. That medical and end-of-life experience informs how she talks about grief, caregiving strain, and aging-related concerns. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care questions, codependency, and family-of-origin issues.

People often come to Laverna for help with self-esteem, intimacy issues, bipolar or depressive symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She offers collaborative care that looks at feelings, relationships, and practical habits, so decisions and changes are grounded in what can work day to day.

How evidence-based approaches work in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people change patterns that cause distance or insecurity. It is useful for intimacy problems, attachment issues, and communication cycles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with specific strategies and skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and managing mood swings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns in close relationships. It can be helpful for couples or individuals who want clearer emotional connection and better conflict responses.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations including international settings. Session format options were not specified in the biography, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistency and for applying new skills in their daily routines.
