About Laverna Soucie
Laverna Soucie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings a blend of mental health training and medical experience to her work. She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and she integrates that training when helping individuals, couples, families, college students, and children ages 8 through their teens.
Her clinical work includes premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy, with experience addressing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, adoption concerns, and adjustment disorders. She also focuses on issues such as intimacy, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, along with specialized concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, and family of origin problems.
Soucie’s approach centers on understanding each person from their own perspective and attending to the whole person - physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual - as part of the healing process. She favors emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy while also drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, family systems work, and other evidence-informed methods. She has received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and applies it particularly when working with trauma.
Before becoming a counselor, Soucie spent 20 years as a registered nurse, earning a Bachelor of Science from Baylor University and working 13 years in hospice care. That medical and end-of-life experience informs her grief and hospice counseling and is woven into her therapeutic practice. With six years of counseling experience as an LPC, she combines clinical and medical perspectives to support clients through relationship struggles, loss, and major life transitions.
