About Jenelle

Jenelle Hoyt is an LCPC who centers her practice on helping clients move through distress toward practical, sustainable change.

Background and approach

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive and acceptance-oriented methods to help people make sense of difficult emotions, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and develop concrete coping skills for everyday life. Jenelle has six years of clinical experience and uses that background to tailor interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem, career challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, anger, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, codependency, ADHD, dissociation, and a variety of personality and family-related difficulties.

She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and regular review so progress stays aligned with the client’s values and vision for the future. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that balances empathy with constructive challenge.

Sessions aim to increase awareness of emotions and patterns while building practical strategies for coping and growth.

Online approaches that combine parts work and practical skills

Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore inner parts with curiosity, helping to unblend protective patterns from core strengths so individuals can respond to stress with greater clarity and self-compassion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and developing committed actions while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns that shape how people connect and feel safe with others, which can support work on relationship struggles, caregiver stress, and wounds from earlier attachment disruptions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try strategies that fit personal preferences, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. This collaborative stance helps ensure techniques align with the client's needs and values rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer not to travel for appointments. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on coping skills, emotional processing, and goal-directed action from a location that suits the client, while allowing the therapist to adapt exercises and tools to the online setting.
