About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach and listens first to understand each person's story. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life.
Laverna draws on several therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, grief, and trauma. She also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem.
How Laverna works
Her background includes helping people cope with major life changes and caregiving fatigue. Her practice values emotional connection and skill building. Laverna uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviors.
She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits. When trauma is present she may use EMDR to process distressing memories. Laverna’s earlier career as a registered nurse and hospice caregiver influences her work.
That experience informs how she discusses grief, end-of-life concerns, and medical-related stress. She brings a calm, steady presence and practical tools that reflect both clinical and medical perspectives. People who choose her often want a collaborative, straightforward therapist who combines emotional work with hands-on strategies.
Laverna helps clients set manageable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time.

Online support options
How attachment work and trauma therapies translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotion and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in attachments, practice new ways of relating, and bring those changes into daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical strategies. It works well in video or messaging formats because homework worksheets and thought records can be shared and reviewed between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured method for processing disturbing memories. When used online, the therapist guides each step and adapts tools so the work proceeds at a pace that feels manageable for the person.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences, then recommend methods that fit the situation. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual cues and work in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or when typing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules.
