Soleil Totchum , LPC

Soleil Totchum, LPC, helps people feeling stuck by focusing on relationships and personal direction. She welcomes clients who are dealing with low self-worth, depression, or stress from family and life transitions. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than long lists of jargon.

Soleil centers conversations on clear goals like improving communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem. She pays attention to how early attachment and family history shape today's choices. Sessions often include problem-solving, exploring patterns, and practicing new ways to relate to others.

Her work includes support around adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, blended family dynamics, fertility-related strain, and caregiver stress. She also helps people navigating separation, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness. Those concerns are addressed with attention to cultural background and life context.

Soleil offers services in English, Spanish, and French and brings six years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana. She uses a multicultural lens to understand how identity and culture affect relationships and self-image.

People can expect a collaborative process that mixes talk, skill practice, and real-world steps between sessions. The goal is clearer choices and more confidence in daily life. Soleil aims to help clients make steady, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Soleil uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on change and healing in everyday life. One common approach she uses helps people identify patterns that repeat from family history and attachment experiences, and then try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. This can be useful for relationship pain, codependency, and persistent communication problems.

Another approach centers on skill building for mood and self-worth, using short exercises to shift negative thinking and to practice self-compassion. Those steps aim to reduce depressive symptoms and build steady confidence, one small change at a time.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Soleil works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She will explain options, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into life.
