Evidence-Informed Care, Designed for Online Support
Jenelle Hoyt draws from evidence-informed therapy approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns start affecting daily life.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful steps toward what matters most. ACT can be a helpful fit when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by stressors, or caught in cycles of avoidance. In addition, Attachment-Based Therapy can support people who want to better understand relationship patterns and how earlier experiences may influence connection, boundaries, and coping today.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jenelle works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts strategies over time to better match what is most helpful and sustainable for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing structure or support. Sessions may take place through video calls or phone sessions, with options for live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged in therapy even with a busy schedule or changing needs.
