About Joel

Joel Soucie is an LPC with two decades of clinical experience working across corrections, substance use treatment, mental health, and co-occurring care settings in Missouri. He draws on those years of practice and personal life experience to relate to people facing difficult transitions and persistent emotional challenges.

Background and approach

His background includes work with offenders through DFS and prison/parole operations as well as in substance abuse and mental health facilities, which informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Soucie emphasizes empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support while helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and ADHD among other issues.

He aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore impulses, communication patterns, control issues, life purpose, and other concerns that affect daily functioning. His approach is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques and honed by two decades of direct practice in Missouri.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Access



Many of Joel's interventions draw on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on developing practical skills and insight. One common approach emphasizes cognitive and behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills; this style helps with anxiety, panic symptoms, mood regulation, and impulsivity. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety, pacing, and processing of distressing experiences to reduce the impact of past trauma and support recovery.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Joel works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailors techniques accordingly, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. The aim is to find a mix of strategies that feels both effective and manageable for each person.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats allow ongoing work on stress, ADHD-related challenges, relationships, and other concerns while fitting therapy into everyday life.
