01About Joel
Joel Soucie is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience. He draws on long work in mental health, substance use, and correctional settings to support people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and major life shifts. Joel writes plainly and focuses on helping people take the next practical step rather than offering quick fixes.
He has worked in prisons and parole programs, substance abuse facilities, mental health clinics, and co-occurring treatment centers.
Background and approach
Those roles gave him a wide view of how problems like trauma, grief, anger, and mood struggles show up in daily life. That background helps him recognize patterns and offer concrete ways to cope. Joel aims to listen without judgment and to build a steady, straightforward working relationship.
He uses everyday language and practical tools so clients can try new behaviors between sessions. The goal is to make small changes that add up over time. People come to Joel for many concerns including relationship tensions, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, panic, and process addictions like gambling or pornography.
He also supports work through life purpose questions, midlife transitions, and struggles with impulse control. In sessions he focuses on clear, manageable steps tailored to each person’s situation. Joel is based in Missouri and holds the LPC credential, which shows his professional standing as a licensed counselor.
He conducts therapy in English and offers several online formats for flexibility.

04Online support
Practical approaches and online options for coping
Joel often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety, panic, and stress so people can handle difficult moments with clear steps and practice. Another approach addresses substance use and process addictions by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and strengthening relapse prevention strategies to reduce harmful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joel will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailor techniques to fit the person's life. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust plans as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues during deeper sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, homework check-ins, or support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
