Jenelle Hoyt, LCPC

Jenelle Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues with self-esteem. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, career stress, addiction challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related difficulties.

She has six years of clinical experience and brings a practical, goal-oriented style to sessions. Jenelle helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can make daily life easier. She also helps people process strong emotions and painful memories so those things take up less space in day-to-day life.

Her approach borrows from acceptance and commitment techniques and from attachment-focused perspectives when those ideas fit a person’s goals. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies to tailor support to each person. The focus is on what a person wants to change and on building realistic steps to get there.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and regular check-ins to see what is working. Jenelle aims to create a nonjudgmental space that is both encouraging and challenging. People meet her to learn coping skills, improve communication, and rebuild confidence after setbacks.

Therapy with her involves practical tools, reflection on patterns, and ongoing adjustments to treatment plans. Her style is collaborative: she listens, gives feedback, and helps people try new ways of handling tough situations.

Practical approaches adapted for online care

Jenelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns and try concrete behavior changes that reduce daily distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on small, testable steps.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and commit to actions that matter to them even when emotions are strong. That approach can help with coping during life changes, chronic stress, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based ideas are used when relationship patterns or early bonds shape current struggles; those ideas help people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of connecting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment-informed work. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is seen.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone sessions can require less bandwidth, chat can suit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and real-world results.
