About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings six years of counseling experience to her work. She practices from Texas and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work with a wide range of life challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and family of origin problems.
Background and approach
She also addresses infidelity, hospice and end-of-life related grief, loneliness, and other intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first to understand each person's story and priorities.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, EMDR, and elements of the Gottman Method. She explains options plainly and helps people pick strategies that fit their goals. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
People who come to her can expect clear steps to manage symptoms and real talk about relationships and daily habits. She blends emotional exploration with concrete skill-building. Her aim is to help clients gain better coping tools and clearer direction for next steps.
Her practice is offered in English and she accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. Online sessions use conversation and targeted exercises to help people understand attachment needs and change repeated interaction patterns that cause conflict or distance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps you can change. In remote sessions the therapist and client identify specific thoughts, try new behaviors between meetings, and measure progress over time.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people access and name emotions that drive relationship difficulties. Through guided conversation and skill practice, clients learn new ways to request support and respond to partners or family members.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize emotional processing, skill-building, trauma-focused work, or a blend of approaches.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist see expressions and body language for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and flexible scheduling across time zones.
