Laverna Soucie, LPC

Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of counseling experience. She practices from Texas and brings a background that combines mental health work with previous medical experience. Laverna aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and other life challenges.

She draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method. In sessions she listens to each person’s story and looks at how emotions, thoughts, and relationships connect to daily struggles. Her work often addresses trauma, family dynamics, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes.

Before becoming a therapist, Laverna worked as a registered nurse for 20 years, including 13 years in hospice care. That clinical background informs how she talks about grief, end-of-life matters, and medical-related stress. She uses that experience to help people name feelings and make practical changes in how they handle stress and loss.

Her style is straightforward and attentive. She helps people identify patterns and try small, manageable changes. Conversations can include emotional processing, behavioral strategies, and relationship-focused work depending on what the client needs.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative approach. Laverna invites clients to share their priorities and helps set goals that fit their life and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and feel safer with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on emotions within relationships and helps people name feelings, share them more clearly, and rebuild connection when bonds feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may mean using emotion-focused work one week and skills-based CBT the next, depending on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. Many people find it useful to combine emotional processing and practical skill work in remote sessions, and a therapist can help adapt techniques to whatever format is chosen.
