About Jenelle

Jenelle Hoyt is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and loss, and related issues such as addiction and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps that help people cope better day to day.

Jenelle listens to what is hard and what is working. She helps people notice thoughts that get in the way and practices strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and checking small goals that can be used between meetings.

Her background includes work with trauma, complicated grief, and chronic stressors like caregiver strain and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment-related concerns, communication problems, and challenges that come up in blended families and parenting. Jenelle names both emotional and behavioral issues when planning a course of work.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. That blend is used to teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking.

In sessions she sets measurable goals and reviews progress regularly. People who want clear strategies for managing emotions, improving communication, or finding steadier routines may find this style useful. The focus remains practical - what to try now, and how to adjust as life changes.

How sessions work

How Jenelle’s approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress when someone wants clearer daily steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Jenelle will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they land, and adjusting plans together based on what helps most.

The original biography did not list which online session formats are used. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel, manage short check-ins during a lunch break, or choose a quieter setup that needs less bandwidth. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for online sessions so the same kinds of skills work even when meetings are remote.
