About Laverna

Laverna Soucie is an LPC with six years of clinical experience who practices from a systems-oriented perspective and integrates trauma care into her work.

Background and approach

She draws on a background that values the interplay of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual factors when supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, and end-of-life concerns. Her approach blends evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and elements of the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Laverna centers an understanding of each client’s story and relationships, aiming to explore patterns, restore connection, and build practical coping skills. She welcomes individuals navigating life changes, grief, intimacy-related issues, and complicated family dynamics, offering thoughtful, collaborative care from her practice based in Texas.

Approaches that inform online care and connection

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build coping skills; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early attachment experiences influence current intimacy, communication, and family dynamics. EMDR uses structured processing techniques to address traumatic memories and related distress, and can be applied when trauma or abuse contributes to present-day symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laverna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she may combine elements of different approaches to create a personalized plan. This process invites clients to provide feedback and adjust direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options support ongoing skill-building, relationship work, trauma processing, and short check-ins while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
