About Jenelle
Jenelle Hoyt is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of direct clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, career worries, grief, trauma and related problems. Jenelle focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage strong emotions and daily challenges.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods into clear, doable practices. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take small actions toward them.
Jenelle pays attention to how attachment and relationship patterns shape current struggles. She helps people track those patterns and try different ways of relating that can feel safer and more effective. Sessions include talking through recent problems, practicing new coping skills, and checking progress toward concrete goals.
She supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, and a range of personality and attachment concerns such as avoidant or dependent patterns. Her work also addresses grief, anger, coping with life changes, and recovery from abuse or other trauma.
Jenelle asks clients to set short-term, measurable goals and revisits them regularly. Expect practical tools and regular review of what’s working. She encourages steady steps rather than sweeping fixes, and she helps clients build skills they can use between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Jenelle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different, more helpful responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on clear strategies and practice. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which centers on clarifying values and taking committed small steps even when difficult feelings are present. That approach can help with motivation, avoidance, and building life goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jenelle will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. She approaches this as a collaborative process and checks in about progress as goals are set and reviewed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for more consistent check-ins between appointments. They can also let someone choose a quieter setting, avoid camera use if preferred, or take shorter sessions during a work break.
