About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She draws on both therapy and prior healthcare experience to help people navigate stressful and painful life moments.
Background and approach
Laverna meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve daily life. She uses approaches that include the Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
In sessions she helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems. She also addresses parenting stress, sleeping issues, intimacy concerns, anger, and career-related strain.
Laverna pairs her LPC training with years of nursing experience to inform her work with grief and end-of-life concerns. That background shapes how she listens to life stories and responds to medical or hospice-related stress when it comes up.
She aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable. Her style is collaborative and grounded.
She focuses on clear goals, small changes that add up, and learning tools that people can use between sessions. Sessions may involve skill practice, tracking patterns, and talking through difficult memories.
Clients often come for help with family of origin issues, attachment wounds, codependency, abandonment, and healing from past abuse. Laverna also supports people coping with bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions.
She accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different needs.
Online approaches for relationships and trauma
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to help people notice patterns, strengthen trust, and build more stable connections.The Gottman Method concentrates on practical communication skills and repairing conflict in relationships. In teletherapy it often includes structured conversations, skill practice, and homework to improve problem-solving and emotional closeness.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge. Remotely this can involve guided processing, bilateral stimulation alternatives, and careful tracking of reactions while the therapist provides pacing and support.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and then collaborate with the client to choose one or more methods that suit their needs. Sessions can blend approaches as progress and comfort evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet when life is busy. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into work, travel, or caregiving schedules.
