Rebecca Hoye , LCPC

Rebecca Hoye is a licensed psychotherapist with five years of experience working in a community mental health agency in Chicago. Originally from Wisconsin, she brings an adventurous spirit and a commitment to making therapy accessible to people who may not have the time or energy for in-person visits. She has supported clients facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, family conflict, parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Much of her work has focused on low-income families managing high levels of stress and limited resources, which shaped her understanding of how symptoms, environment, and daily demands interact. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of looking beyond single issues to consider the broader context of a person’s life when planning treatment. She listens with empathy and seeks to understand each individual before tailoring care.

Her approach is strongly psycho-educational - she helps clients learn about unhelpful patterns, the functions of their reactions, and practical coping strategies. By teaching skills and fostering insight, Rebecca aims to help clients feel more empowered to manage stressors, improve relationships, and navigate life changes. She holds an IL LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, indicating professional training and licensure in clinical counseling.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Rebecca uses a psycho-educational approach that helps clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and how certain patterns may no longer serve them. This approach offers clear explanations and practical steps to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also emphasizes skills-based coping strategies, teaching concrete tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and attention management so clients can apply what they learn to daily challenges such as parenting, work stress, or relationship difficulties.

Alongside individual skill work, Rebecca attends to the broader context of a person’s life - including family dynamics and environmental stressors - to shape treatment that fits real-world demands. Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca collaborates with each client to identify approaches that match their goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Online therapy with a licensed professional like Rebecca brings practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations.
