About Jenelle
Jenelle Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, and other life challenges. She writes and speaks plainly, listening first to understand each person's strengths and struggles. Her style aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build step-by-step tools that fit daily life.
With six years of clinical experience, Jenelle focuses on common concerns like depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and career stress.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and the challenges of parenting. Phobias are one of the issues she lists among her areas of focus. In sessions she combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas.
That mix helps clients learn new coping skills, manage strong emotions, and reframe personal narratives. The approach is conversational and practical rather than technical. Jenelle works with a wide range of additional concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, and ADHD-related struggles.
She aims to tailor goals and techniques to each person's situation and pace. Progress is reviewed regularly so goals stay relevant. Based in Illinois, she holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats such as video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's needs.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and phobias.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest techniques from different models that make sense together. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust the plan as progress or new challenges appear.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make sessions more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and for practicing skills together. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the process focused on clear goals and practical tools.
