About Victoria

Victoria Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, with 27 years of experience. She is based in Kansas and works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and life transitions. Victoria often helps people facing intimacy and attachment concerns as well as stress related to career and caregiving.

She uses practical, well-known therapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and addressing patterns that keep problems repeating. Victoria adjusts her approach depending on what each person needs and what they want to accomplish.

Her background includes long-term work in mental health and addiction settings and experience with blended families, military-connected clients, and residential juvenile services. She has worked with a wide age range and across multiple care contexts, which she draws on when helping people manage grief, parenting strains, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use concerns.

Victoria describes herself as straightforward and attentive in session. She prioritizes honesty, respect, and practical steps toward change. Clients can expect conversations that focus on coping strategies, communication skills, boundary setting, and rebuilding trust after hard experiences.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and living through big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they shape current reactions; it aims to strengthen connection and reduce repeated hurt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new issues come up.

Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around classes or jobs, using shorter check-ins when time is limited, and choosing audio-only when bandwidth is low or a camera is not wanted. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity during life transitions and to apply new skills in everyday settings. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
