About Jenelle
Jenelle Hoyt is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) based in Illinois. She uses practical, goal-focused work to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety. She listens for strengths, helps clarify values, and supports steps toward clearer thinking and better daily coping.
Jenelle draws on several common therapies to guide sessions. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and choose more helpful actions. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are tapped for strong emotions and distress tolerance.
Her background includes six years as a licensed counselor alongside longer experience in helping roles. That mix has shaped a style that is direct and encouraging. Sessions aim to set short-term, achievable goals and check progress regularly.
People come for a range of concerns such as depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction-related issues, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, and codependency. Jenelle works to identify small, practical tools clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily routines.
Her work emphasizes collaboration: she listens first, then offers strategies tailored to each person. The tone is nonjudgmental but moving toward change. Clients leave with specific skills to practice and a clearer sense of what to try next.
How Jenelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck. It can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency by focusing on small committed steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating when old habits cause pain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most useful. Together they set short goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress.
