About Soleil
Soleil Totchum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, depression, and major life transitions. She focuses on clear, practical steps that parents and individuals can use right away. Soleil communicates in English, Spanish, and French to meet the needs of diverse households.
Soleil centers sessions on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, blended family adjustments, fertility and caregiver stress, and feelings of abandonment. She emphasizes building stronger connections and clearer boundaries. Conversations are rooted in respect for cultural background and personal history.
Her work often addresses attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. Soleil supports people sorting through divorce, separation, codependency, or persistent emptiness as they rebuild routines and roles.
Soleil aims to make therapy practical. Sessions may include goal-setting, role-play to practice conversations, and steps for managing low mood and self-criticism. She partners with clients to try tools between sessions and track what helps.
With six years of experience in Louisiana, Soleil draws on an intersectional perspective to understand how identity and culture shape relationships. She frames change as gradual and collaborative, helping each person find approaches that fit their life and responsibilities.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Soleil uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and attachment. One approach centers on improving communication skills through practice and feedback, helping people navigate conflict and set boundaries in families or partnerships. Another approach addresses self-esteem and depression with structured steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and building small behavioral goals to improve mood and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Soleil collaborates with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and values. She adjusts tools over time and checks in regularly to see what is working and what needs to change.
If you prefer remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats so you can choose the style that best fits your schedule and daily life.
