About Laverna

Laverna Soucie is an LPC with six years of counseling experience based in Texas. She blends her clinical work with a background in health care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship strains. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping parents and individuals cope with life changes and everyday pressures.

She draws on several therapy styles to match a person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them into more useful ones. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people who want clearer emotional connection in relationships. Attachment-Based ideas guide work around early relationship patterns that still affect present life.

Laverna also brings experience with trauma and loss. Her years as a hospice nurse shaped how she talks about grief and end-of-life concerns. She uses tools that address trauma and painful memories alongside present-day coping skills.

Sessions focus on listening first, then trying small, manageable changes. Practical steps might include changing everyday routines, practicing new ways to speak with loved ones, or learning skills to calm intense feelings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

She works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, career setbacks, and compassion fatigue. People who want a therapist who mixes emotional insight with real-world strategies may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new responses in their daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often uses short exercises and homework that fit well into a weekly online rhythm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current struggles, and goals, then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress and preferences become clearer, so treatment stays collaborative and practical.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people appreciate online care because sessions can fit around work, allow quieter surroundings, or avoid travel time. Online meetings also make it easier to try short check-ins, practice skills between sessions, and apply strategies directly to real-life situations that come up during the week.
