Reviewed July 2024

Jenelle is very professional. I appreciate how she was able to easily pick up on the gist of my life journey in the short time that I've had with her and yet understand exactly why I struggle with the relationship I'm having with my daughter. I like how she always leaves me with something thought-provoking to think about.

Hello,

My name is Jenelle Hoyt, I am an award winning Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 10+ years of experience in the helping profession. Thank you for beginning this journey with Better Help. As a therapist, I am proud that you've decided to take steps that you believe will enhance your life and allow yourself to heal. I would like to assure you the counseling process is here to foster your growth. I will listen to you as you share your struggles and your strengths and challenge you to identify whether your thoughts are positively serving you so that you can view life more positively. We will process strong emotions and certain aspects of experiences that you have not dealt with to obtain a greater awareness. My primary focus is to assist clients with developing strategies and tools to perhaps re-frame your story to cope with the past and create a bright future.

As a therapist, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem and career challenges, as well as emotional and physical trauma to cite a few. I specialize in helping individuals who are not only feeling the stressors of life but also unsure of how to cope with or change these stressors in a positive way. We will work together to create attainable goals that will be reviewed and assessed consistently to ensure that they align with the vision of who you are and want to continue to be.

I maintain a judgment-free space that is challenging, encouraging and enlightening. I believe in a process that is positive and retrospective. My approach integrates a multiplicity of practices such as Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic interventions. I personalize each treatment to meet your individual need.

Congratulations on taking time to empower yourself by employing therapy to make significant changes in your life. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jenelle is absolutely amazing! She is kind and understanding. She helps me understand who I am and why I make react or feel a certain way. I always walk away feeling proud of the work we have done and proud of myself. She is truly my thought partner. I would highly highly recommend Jenelle. She always challenging you in the best way possible. I had been with the same therapist for 7 years and was looking for someone new that could offer new insights! Jenelle offers just that — a different perspective and insights — in a short amount of time I have felt re-energized and ready to keep learning and growing myself. Thank you Jenelle!!

Janelle seems to be a perfect fot fir me, as i am quite the talker and shes a great listener. And she always knows exactly when to stop me and make me examine my statements to find underlying meanings or to suggest corrections to the thoughts i express. I was worried i would go through many therapists before i found one i would feel right with, but Janelle was my first suggestion and im hapoy to have found her so quickly. I am pleased with her weekly homework suggestions and its soooo nice of her to check in on me before the weekend!

Jenelle is AMAZING! She is so down-to-earth, yet professional. Sounds crazy, right?! But, she is! She is so compassionate, yet she is able to push you to "do the work" to become a better you. Each session has pushed me to learn more about myself, and also work on being a better person for myself. I'm thankful.

The connection from the first session let’s me know that not only is Jenelle personable, she more than qualified. Beginning to the session with breathing and mindfulness really set the tone and let me know she not only read the presession notes but was poised to provide strategies to me the first ten minutes!
