About Soleil
Soleil Totchum is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people working through relationship strain, family conflict, and low self-worth. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Her tone is straightforward and caring for people facing big changes or emotional overwhelm.
Soleil brings six years of clinical experience and works from a multicultural, intersectional perspective. She centers conversations on communication, attachment, and building self-compassion. Sessions often cover concrete skills for handling difficult conversations and changing harmful patterns like codependency.
She has a particular interest in supporting women during life stages such as pregnancy, postpartum, workplace transitions, and family shifts. Soleil also supports people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, and caregiver strain. She uses plain language to help clients name what is happening and try new ways of relating.
Soleil offers services in English, Spanish, and French, and practices in Louisiana. Her work combines immediate problem-solving with exploring how family of origin and past losses shape current behavior. She helps clients set realistic goals and track small changes over time.
People who value cultural understanding and direct, practical guidance may find her approach helpful. To start, she asks a few questions to match goals and then builds a plan that fits daily life and personal values.
Approaches that guide online care
Soleil blends practical, evidence-based techniques into sessions that focus on communication and attachment. One common approach emphasizes clear communication skills - teaching people how to state needs, set boundaries, and repair interactions. This helps with relationship tension and patterns of reactivity.A second approach centers on attachment-focused work, which looks at how early relationships affect current behavior. That kind of work helps people understand why they cling, withdraw, or feel empty, and it guides steps to build more secure ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Soleil will talk with clients about their goals, test different strategies, and adjust plans together. She aims to match techniques to each person’s background, culture, and daily life rather than following a single method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from locations that work for daily life. It can also let people choose shorter or longer visits depending on need, and it supports working across the practical demands of parenting, work, and caregiving.
