About Jenelle
Jenelle Hoyt is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of direct counseling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, and life changes. She also lists ADHD and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
Jenelle uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice thoughts and patterns that get in the way. She offers practical tools to reframe unhelpful thinking and to build small, achievable steps toward change.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and regular review. Clients set short-term targets and check progress as therapy continues. Jenelle encourages facing strong emotions and naming parts of experience that haven’t been processed, with an eye toward greater awareness and better coping skills.
The approach combines evidence-informed techniques with a focus on relationships and attachment. She draws on CBT and DBT skills for managing mood and behavior, and uses ACT ideas to clarify values and committed action. Attachment-based work helps address patterns that show up in relationships and self-concept.
People seeking support for career transitions, feeling stuck after school, or the stress of early adulthood may find the practical focus useful. Sessions aim to produce tools you can use between meetings to handle difficult moments and keep moving toward your goals.
How Jenelle’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for people stuck in avoidance or who feel unsure about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and low mood. It offers concrete exercises and skill practice you can use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and emotional responses and can help when relationship patterns or self-worth feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenelle will work with each client to figure out which methods fit their situation and goals. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video when they prefer face-to-face contact or choose phone for lower bandwidth or less on-camera time. Licensed professionals and therapists generally adapt exercises and worksheets so the same skills can be practiced between sessions regardless of format.
