About Laverna Soucie
Laverna Soucie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends clinical training with extensive medical experience to support individuals, couples, and families through difficult transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Laverna Soucie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners and family members identify underlying emotional needs and reorganize interactions so relationships feel more secure and connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to explore patterns of thinking and behavior, building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with life changes. She is also trained in EMDR, a therapy that can help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact when integrated into a broader treatment plan.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laverna works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these modalities to fit each person's situation rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy with Laverna can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional best suited to their concerns.
