About Victoria

Victoria Hoyt brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Background and approach

She practices from a strengths-oriented, trauma-aware perspective and draws on a variety of therapeutic tools to help people navigate addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and life transitions. Her credentials include LCMFT and LMFT, and she is based in Kansas.

Her approach blends practical skills with compassionate listening, often integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance- and attachment-focused methods when appropriate. Victoria emphasizes collaboration and tailors techniques to each person’s situation, addressing additional issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and substance-related problems.

She seeks to identify clients' strengths and goals while offering steady, honest guidance. Clients can expect a clinician who values clear goals and real-world strategies, balanced with empathy and respect.

Victoria aims to help people make meaningful changes and to support them through the work of coping, healing, and forward movement.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions and can be adapted effectively to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building psychological flexibility; it can help with grief, chronic stress, and motivation to make life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and intimacy, and is often useful for couples, family concerns, and issues stemming from early relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, then shape sessions and techniques so they fit the person and the presenting concerns rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows ongoing work from home or another comfortable setting. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity across busy lives and to access consistent care from licensed professionals, while allowing the therapist to use behavioral exercises, skills coaching, and relational work adapted for each communication method.
