About Jan
Jan Horner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to create a dependable, respectful connection with each person she sees. She centers work on real-life changes people want to make.
That can mean coping with grief, navigating family or intimacy concerns, addressing addiction or mood challenges, or rebuilding self-esteem after a loss.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career shifts, burnout, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens without judgment and helps clients notice how different parts of their experience affect daily life.
Sessions often focus on small, practical steps that build resilience and clear thinking over time. Jan draws on several therapeutic styles to match the needs of each person. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed action, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.
Jungian and existential ideas sometimes inform deeper work about meaning and identity. She also addresses lifespan concerns like aging, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and blended family dynamics. Sessions can cover attachment issues, parenting strain, loneliness, or struggles with commitment and communication.
Jan helps people sort priorities and make choices that fit their values.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she follows the client’s lead and focuses on understanding their experience without judgment. This approach helps build trust and supports people who need a steady, empathetic presence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, client-centered methods, or a mix of mindfulness and existential ideas best fits the situation. The process is collaborative and flexible as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter exchanges, ongoing coaching, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care across locations.
