Karen Hoyt, LMFT

Karen Hoyt is a California-licensed LMFT with 30 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, loss, depression, and major life transitions. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist she draws on long experience working with individuals and families to address both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns that affect wellbeing.

Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to navigate difficult moments. She integrates client-centered methods with evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Imago Relationship Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Karen values collaborative work, practical coping strategies, and compassionate guidance for those facing attachment or communication difficulties, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, grief, or shifting life roles.

Recognizing that taking an initial step toward therapy often takes courage, she offers a supportive, respectful space for exploration and growth. Her work centers on helping people find clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more adaptive coping as they move through change and healing.
