About Laverna

Laverna Soucie is an LPC with six years of counseling experience. She practices from Texas and combines her clinical work with a long medical background. She listens for the full story and focuses on how life events are affecting day-to-day routines and relationships.

She uses clear, practical conversations to help people sort stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Sessions often look at patterns that come from family history and attachment. She also helps people facing trauma, abandonment, adoption-related concerns, parenting strain, career crossroads, and the sense of emptiness or isolation that can arrive in midlife.

Her prior career as a registered nurse and years in hospice care shape how she approaches grief and end-of-life topics. That health-care experience is part of what she brings to conversations about aging and medical transitions.

Therapy draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and the Gottman Method. These are used to address relationship patterns, trauma memories, and ways of thinking that keep problems stuck.

Sessions are conversational and practical. The goal is to build steps that fit day-to-day life and to help people try those steps between meetings. Laverna works with people on intimacy, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes.

How Laverna’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people spot repeating patterns that cause distance or conflict in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotional bonds and repair in relationships, helping partners and individuals identify and respond to core feelings that drive interaction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can meet during lunch breaks or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, CBT, and EFT tools to virtual conversations so clients can practice skills and try new ways of relating in everyday life.
