Victoria Hoyt

Victoria Hoyt is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of experience. She holds LCMFT and LMFT credentials and practices in Kansas. She brings a long career working in mental health and addiction settings and continues to focus on helping people make real changes in their lives.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches when addressing trauma, anxiety, and addiction. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques to help people understand patterns in relationships and build new ways of relating. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals and practical steps the person can try between meetings.

Victoria has worked across a wide range of settings, including residential programs, faith-based counseling, and community mental health. That breadth means she is familiar with common challenges like grief, parenting strain, blended family concerns, codependency, and recovery from substance use. Her background includes helping people with communication problems, anger, and life transitions.

Her style is direct and caring. She aims to notice what matters quickly and help clients move toward small, manageable changes. She emphasizes honesty, respect, and an emphasis on strengths while also addressing painful history and trauma when it is relevant.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Victoria draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and move forward from painful or frightening experiences. That approach focuses on understanding what happened, reducing ongoing fear or avoidance, and building skills to feel safer and more in control.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape reactions today. Both approaches aim to change how people relate to themselves and others and can help with anxiety, relationship strain, and grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest a plan. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

For practical matters, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can guide exercises, teach coping strategies, and support changes in everyday life using these approaches.
