About Soleil
Soleil Totchum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and those seeking coaching for life transitions. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, and French.
Soleil focuses on everyday relationship issues like communication breakdowns and family-of-origin conflicts. She helps people who are managing separation, blended family challenges, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. Clients also bring concerns such as caregiver stress, fertility-related strain, body image, and feelings of emptiness.
In sessions she talks through patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and codependency. Soleil uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice what keeps causing the same problems and to practice different ways of responding. She also supports people working through life stages like pregnancy or the postpartum period and workplace-related pressures.
Her work includes practical skill-building around communication and coping. She helps clients set realistic goals and tries to keep things straightforward and concrete. Soleil aims to help people identify small changes that can reduce daily stress and improve relationships.
People who prefer to work with someone who understands multicultural backgrounds and speaks multiple languages may find her approach approachable. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Many of Soleil's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable patterns and practical skills. One approach emphasizes communication skills training - learning specific ways to express needs and listen so conflicts are less likely to escalate. This helps with recurring arguments and everyday family tension.Another common focus is attachment-informed work, which looks at how early relationships shape current behavior. That approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and try new, healthier responses. A third element often used is goal-focused coaching to set short-term steps for clearer boundaries and improved self-esteem.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals commonly adapt session length and structure to match everyday life and responsibilities.
