Jenelle Hoyt , LCPC

Jenelle Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on practical skills and clear goals so clients can notice real changes over time. Jenelle works with concerns often faced by women, including self-esteem, body image, parenting strain, and relationship challenges.

With six years of clinical experience, she helps people process strong emotions and past hurts without overwhelming them. Sessions emphasize building tools for coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, anger, and difficult communication patterns.

Jenelle blends several methods to meet each person where they are. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and trust.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens carefully, offers gentle challenges, and co-creates achievable steps toward change. Progress is checked regularly so goals stay relevant.

Practical matters are part of the process. Sessions can include talk, skills practice, or short written check-ins between meetings. Jenelle guides people toward clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping.

Online therapy approaches that meet you where you are

Jenelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect trust, communication, and intimacy in current relationships. Finally, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values and take actions that match those values even when difficult feelings remain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works for that individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when circumstances change.
