About Soleil
Soleil Totchum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing relationship stress, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She also offers coaching to support life transitions and personal growth. Soleil speaks English, Spanish, and French, which helps her connect with people from different backgrounds.
Soleil focuses on clear, practical conversations about communication, attachment, and boundaries. She aims to help clients identify what matters to them and build small steps toward better days.
How Soleil works
Sessions often cover coping with separation, blended family challenges, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. Her work includes attention to body image, caregiver strain, codependency, and dependent personality patterns. She also helps people process grief, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness that come from family of origin problems.
When fertility or caregiver stress adds pressure, she helps people find manageable strategies to cope. With six years of experience, Soleil blends an intersectional perspective with culturally responsive listening. She creates space to talk about how identity and life events shape relationships and emotions.
Her approach is practical and compassionate rather than overly clinical. People who start with Soleil can expect an emphasis on communication skills, realistic goals, and steady steps toward healthier interactions. She works with a range of concerns related to relationships and family dynamics, and adapts to the needs each person brings to the session.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work and flexible sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used include approaches that focus on attachment and relational patterns. These methods look at how early bonds shape current relationships and help people change unhelpful interaction patterns, which can ease communication problems and attachment issues.Another common technique emphasizes building practical coping skills for depression and self-esteem struggles. This approach breaks problems into manageable pieces, teaches straightforward tools for daily use, and helps people test new ways of relating to themselves and others. Both methods are useful for family of origin concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, history, and comfort level. That means checking in, adjusting strategies, and combining methods when needed so treatment matches the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial expressions and practice communication; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection feels right. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and access support from different locations.
