Soleil TotchumLPC

Soleil Totchum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate relationship strain, family conflict, and the emotional changes that often come with pregnancy and childbirth. She works with clients on self-esteem, depression, and coaching around life transitions. Soleil aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling and what they want to change.

She brings six years of clinical experience and a multicultural perspective to her work. Soleil speaks English, Spanish, and French, which can help bilingual clients express themselves more fully. Her approach centers on clear communication, strengthening attachment, and supporting people through adoption, foster care, or blended family challenges when relevant.

Soleil pays attention to how family of origin issues and past abandonment can shape current relationships. She also addresses fertility concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency with practical strategies clients can use between sessions. Discussions often focus on setting boundaries, improving communication, and rebuilding trust.

People who want a counselor that values cultural context and gendered life stages may find her style direct but compassionate. Sessions aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier. The work often blends short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of family patterns.

To begin, Soleil asks clients to consider what matters most to them right now and what they hope to leave therapy having changed. That starting point guides each plan and helps track concrete progress over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Many clients find brief, evidence-based techniques helpful alongside deeper exploration. One common approach emphasizes communication skills and practical strategies to reduce conflict and improve connection; it focuses on role-playing, setting boundaries, and clear goal setting. Another approach centers on attachment-related work, helping people understand how early relationships shape current responses and teaching ways to build more secure interactions in close relationships.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there, plans are adjusted over time based on progress and changing needs so the approach fits the person, not the other way around.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join sessions from familiar locations and work around childcare or work breaks, while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional support.
