Laverna Soucie, LPC

Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She is based in Texas and focuses on relationships, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and related challenges. Laverna listens to each person’s story and helps them take practical steps forward.

She favors straightforward conversation and aims to understand each person from their point of view. Sessions often look at how emotions, body sensations, and life events connect. Laverna uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.

Her background includes working with issues such as parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also addresses more specific areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. Laverna has experience supporting people through hospice and end-of-life counseling and the grief that follows.

Clinically, she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method as useful tools. These approaches are selected to fit the person and the problem at hand.

Her work aims to help people feel heard and to build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. Prospective clients who want a practical, empathetic approach may find this style helpful.

How chosen therapies translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions using this approach focus on patterns in close relationships and on building new ways of connecting with partners and family members.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT is used to identify thinking patterns, try new behaviors between meetings, and track small changes over time to reduce anxiety or depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people map and name emotions that drive relationship interactions. Via online meetings this work can clarify what each person feels and needs, and help rehearse different responses in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let conversations continue when life challenges make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote work to focus on emotion, behavior change, or trauma processing depending on the client's needs.
