About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She practices from Texas and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and related concerns. Her approach centers on listening closely and understanding each person's experience.
She prefers straightforward, compassionate conversations. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people notice patterns, learn coping skills, and make changes that fit their life.
Background and approach
She mixes talk-based work with structured techniques when those fit a client's goals. Laverna draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques support people who want clearer emotional connection in relationships. Her background includes experience with trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also addresses complex issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges, family of origin wounds, and end-of-life counseling.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that respects their pace. Laverna works with grieving people, those facing life changes, and people coping with persistent mood or mood-spectrum concerns. She aims to help clients build practical tools and stronger emotional awareness.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. Online work with attachment ideas helps people notice how they react in partnerships and family interactions, and practice new ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior. In remote sessions CBT can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and focused homework to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and shifting emotion-driven patterns in close relationships. Even online, this approach can help partners and individuals name emotions, try new responses, and build stronger emotional contact.
Laverna treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules.
