Soleil Totchum, LPC

Soleil Totchum, LPC, focuses on helping people during major life changes and relationship strain. She works with individuals who feel stuck by depression, low self-esteem, or caregiving stress. Her tone is direct and supportive, aimed at people seeking practical steps and clearer communication.

Soleil pays attention to cultural background and life context. She often helps with attachment concerns, family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, and the tensions around adoption or foster care. She also supports people facing fertility or parenting-related stress and those coping with abandonment or codependency.

In sessions she centers communication skills and self-understanding. Clients can expect conversations about patterns of behavior, how relationships affect mood, and ways to build self-compassion. Work may include setting small goals, practicing new ways to ask for needs, and planning strategies to manage caregiver strain.

Her practice emphasizes a holistic view of problems. That can mean linking current struggles to past family dynamics, and noticing how identity and culture shape expectations. Soleil brings attention to the practical side of change so clients can try things between sessions.

She speaks English, Spanish, and French and is based in Louisiana. Soleil holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, which appears as LPC. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the Start Therapy process.

How her approaches guide online work

Soleil uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize relationships and practical skills. One focus is improving communication - learning clearer ways to say needs, set boundaries, and repair tension. This helps when family patterns or caregiving duties strain daily life.

She also works on attachment-related themes, helping clients identify old patterns that repeat in close relationships and practice new responses. This can reduce reactivity and support steadier connections over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Soleil will discuss clients' goals, life demands, and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel useful. Adjustments happen as needs change so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since session formats are not listed here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, sessions outside normal work hours, or a way to keep continuity while juggling caregiving. Therapists can also blend skill practice and real-life planning so change shows up between sessions.
