About Victoria
Victoria Hoyt is an LCMFT and LMFT with 27 years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She has long worked in mental health and addiction settings and brings that background to the concerns she addresses, including addictions, relationships, trauma, parenting, grief, anxiety, and blended family issues.
She sees people of various ages and has worked in residential juvenile settings, on an army base, in addiction treatment, and through church programs. Her practice history includes working with couples and individuals across many life stages, and she combines practical techniques to address everyday problems.
In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and on simple skills that can be used between meetings. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps that fit their goals.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and trust, especially where past loss or abandonment affects current bonds. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Client-centered listening is a steady part of how she works with people to find next steps.
Victoria describes herself as practical and direct. She asks questions to get to the heart of the problem and then helps clients try straightforward strategies. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. It uses values and small actions to change how someone spends their time and energy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. In online sessions this can mean talking through loyalty conflicts, trust after loss, or attachment problems that show up in blended families. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, and adjustments are made as goals and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make scheduling evenings easier. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will work best for your routine and concerns.
