About Jenelle
Jenelle Hoyt is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She uses practical, action-oriented approaches to help people manage strong emotions and shift difficult patterns. Jenelle focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career strains, grief, and anger.
Jenelle draws from several evidence-informed methods to help people set clear, doable goals. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed actions that match those values.
Background and approach
Her style is direct but warm. Sessions tend to include talking through current problems, practicing new skills, and planning small steps to test changes between meetings. She aims to help clients feel more able to cope with trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
With six years of clinical experience, Jenelle brings focused support for issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and control or avoidance patterns. She also addresses less common concerns listed in her scope like dissociation and disruptive mood symptoms. Work in sessions is tailored to each person’s needs.
Jenelle helps clients track progress, adjust plans, and build tools they can use outside sessions. Her approach emphasizes practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small meaningful steps toward those values. Online sessions can include exercises to notice thoughts and commit to actions that fit your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In virtual sessions, CBT often uses practical worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These skills can be practiced in sessions and reinforced through brief messages or exercises between appointments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and preferences. That collaborative process means trying a technique, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send brief updates, ask quick questions, or practice skills during the week. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit work, parenting, or other daily demands.
