About Jenelle

Jenelle Hoyt is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, addictions, grief, parenting stress, trauma and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Hoyt listens to the events and feelings that bring someone into therapy and helps name patterns that keep them stuck. She guides clients to notice thoughts that make situations worse and to practice different responses. Conversations include looking at strong emotions and what they point to, rather than avoiding them.

Her work blends several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for managing intense emotion and improving distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods help people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values.

Attachment-based ideas appear when relationship history matters for how someone responds now. Client-centered methods shape how she listens and reflects what clients say. Treatment plans are practical and goal oriented, with regular review so goals stay relevant.

Sessions address both current stressors and past experiences that influence present behavior. People leave with concrete strategies - communication practices, emotion regulation skills, and ways to reframe troublesome thinking. Jenelle uses straightforward, action-focused sessions to help clients handle anger and other pressing concerns.

How sessions work

Approach-driven care and how it translates online

Jenelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on concrete practices like thought records and small behavioral experiments that can be tried between meetings.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT work emphasizes short skills practice - breathing, grounding, and emotion regulation techniques that are useful when frustration spikes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and guide committed action even when feelings are strong.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenelle will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust plans as needs change. That means trying practical strategies early and checking in often about what helps.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel. It also supports practicing skills in the settings where problems happen, so real-life experiments become part of the session work.
