Victoria Hoyt , LCMFT, LMFT

Victoria Hoyt still loves her work after 22 years in the field, bringing long-standing dedication to clients facing a wide range of challenges. She has deep experience in Christian counseling and has helped families navigate blended family dynamics, couples work, addiction recovery, post-traumatic stress, trauma, issues involving sex offenders, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Her client range spans children and adolescents through older adulthood, having worked with people from ages 7 to 89.

Her background includes work with juveniles in a residential facility, support for military families on an army base, and therapeutic work with couples and individuals through mental health and addiction services as well as through her church. She is independently licensed as a marriage and family therapist in three states and independently licensed as an addiction counselor in two states. She also holds LCMFT and LMFT credentials, which indicate licensure to practice marriage and family therapy.

Victoria describes counseling as her calling and believes everyone has a "gift"; for her, helping others is that gift. She brings focused attention to sessions and often senses quickly what is happening for a client. Her clinical approach is flexible and client-centered, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, strength-based practices, trauma-informed principles, and cognitive behavioral therapy, with methods chosen to match each person she sees.

On a personal level she is a wife of 42 years and a mother and grandmother, with eight children and 24 grandchildren. She works full time at a mental health facility but maintains some morning and evening availability for her Better Help clients. Her goal is to support clients in reaching their objectives, and she finds satisfaction in seeing them achieve meaningful change. She aims to provide a safe therapeutic environment characterized by honesty, understanding, and respect, and she respects anyone who takes the step to seek help.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can help them make meaningful progress. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy is generally comparable to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to change therapists if they prefer a different fit. For those weighing their options, online therapy offers a practical way to access professional support while maintaining adaptability to daily life.
