Laverna Soucie, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Laverna

Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She practices from Texas and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and relationship issues. Her background combines mental health and life transitions to help families find steadier ground.

She blends practical, down-to-earth conversation with structured techniques. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping parents and family members talk through conflicts, manage stress, and build clearer communication.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current patterns. Her work draws on approaches that target emotions, attachment, and trauma. Laverna uses methods such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and strengthen connection.

She also incorporates EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Prior to counseling, Laverna worked for many years as a registered nurse and provided hospice care. That healthcare experience informs her sensitivity to grief, end-of-life concerns, and practical caregiving stress.

She brings that experience into family conversations about change and loss. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Parents can expect clear suggestions, skills to try between sessions, and an emphasis on small, manageable changes.

Laverna listens for each family’s priorities and helps set steps that fit daily life.

Approaches for attachment, emotions, and trauma online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It helps people and couples notice patterns that lead to disconnection and build clearer ways to express needs and repair misunderstandings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process painful memories and ease their emotional charge. It can be helpful when trauma or past events continue to affect current relationships and functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the family or parent about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods that match those needs. That collaborative process allows approaches to be combined or adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. They also allow therapists to offer timely support, homework suggestions, and check-ins that match each family’s routine.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
