About Laverna
Laverna Soucie is an LPC who brings six years of counseling experience to her practice in Texas. She draws on a broad clinical background to help people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach centers on understanding each person's story before offering practical steps forward.
She begins by listening to what matters most to the client. Sessions often focus on patterns in relationships, attachment needs, and how past experiences shape present choices. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques are used alongside work that looks at emotions and interaction patterns.
Laverna also integrates trauma-informed methods when trauma or abuse is part of the picture. She pays attention to how grief, medical history, or caregiving strain can affect mood and functioning. This helps her tailor the pace and focus of therapy to each person's circumstances.
Parenting concerns, sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues are commonly addressed through clear, step-by-step strategies and communication practice. She also supports people dealing with career changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption, abandonment, or family-of-origin wounds.
Clients can expect direct, compassionate conversation and collaborative goal-setting. Laverna emphasizes concrete skills and small experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating and coping. She welcomes questions and works with clients to shape a plan that fits their life and goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand connection needs and patterns and can reduce repeated conflicts or emotional distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotions and interaction cycles in relationships, helping partners or individuals name feelings and shift how they respond to one another.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins that match a work break or caregiving schedule. It also offers flexibility when someone needs to balance medical appointments or geographic moves while continuing care with a licensed professional.
