Victoria Hoyt , LCMFT, LMFT

Victoria Hoyt is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of experience. She holds LCMFT and LMFT credentials and practices from Kansas. She brings steady commitment to helping people work through addiction, relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. Victoria’s style is straightforward and practical. She pays attention to what’s happening in a session and focuses on concrete steps people can use at home. Sessions are calm and respectful, with room for honesty and real conversation about hard topics like domestic violence, codependency, and substance use. Her background includes long-term work in mental health and addiction settings and faith-based counseling contexts. That range means she is familiar with blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and the pressures of divorce and separation. She has also supported people facing cancer and other major life changes. Victoria uses several therapeutic approaches and matches them to each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The focus is on what will help someone make steady changes and cope better day to day. Practical matters are simple: sessions are in English and held online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary by location and the subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and practice small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating when trust or intimacy has been strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for longer therapy sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or reinforcement of skills between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities.
