Laverna Soucie, LPC

Laverna Soucie is an LPC with six years of clinical experience. She practices from a perspective shaped by years in healthcare and a background in marriage and family therapy. She focuses on trauma and abuse among many other concerns and helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes.

She draws on her history as a registered nurse and nearly a decade and a half working in hospice care. That medical experience informs how she listens to physical and emotional signs and talks about grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver strain. She also brings knowledge from working with adoption and attachment issues.

Her approach centers on understanding each person’s perspective. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotionally-focused techniques to help partners and individuals name and shift feelings. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit and may be offered when trauma memories are a focus. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict in relationships. Therapy sessions aim to be practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

How attachment, emotion work, and EMDR translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions can help people name those patterns and try different ways of relating with partners or family members.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and changing problem emotional responses between partners or in an individual. In remote sessions clients learn to notice and name feelings, practice new emotional responses, and rehearse conversations that improve closeness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to work with disturbing memories. When it fits the client’s goals, EMDR techniques can be adapted into talk and movement exercises that proceed at the client’s pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods that seem like the best fit. That choice can change over time if needs shift.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find online therapy helpful because it makes scheduling easier, removes travel time, and allows sessions to fit around work or family routines. Some sessions may be shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic appointments depending on what is needed.
