Jenelle Hoyt , LCPC

Jenelle Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 6 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and ADHD. As an LCPC she holds a professional counseling license that authorizes clinical practice and therapeutic treatment in Illinois.

She approaches therapy with attentive listening and practical skill-building, helping clients process strong emotions, examine unhelpful thought patterns, and develop strategies to cope with past experiences while moving toward a more hopeful future. Her work addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term goals, aiming to reframe personal narratives and create achievable steps that align with each person’s values and vision for their life.

Jenelle personalizes treatment by drawing on a range of therapeutic methods, including acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-informed care, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical skills where appropriate. She creates a nonjudgmental environment that is both encouraging and challenging, and she collaborates with clients to set, review, and adjust goals over time.

She is not currently accepting clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Jenelle frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values - this approach supports managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and early connection experiences, which can be useful for improving relationships, addressing abandonment concerns, and healing from attachment injuries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress, offering concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jenelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, allow consistent access from different locations, and make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments. These remote formats enable licensed professionals to deliver deliberate, goal-oriented care while accommodating busy lives and varied comfort levels with communication styles.
