Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, clear goals. Hornung uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also brings client-centred listening and mindfulness practices to build calm and clarity.

People often come for panic attacks, trouble managing stress, relationship communication problems, or feeling stuck in life. Hornung also supports those coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image concerns and attachment wounds. She works in straightforward language and avoids jargon.

Her style is collaborative and practical. The aim is to help people notice what matters, build coping tools, and practise new ways of behaving. Hornung encourages gradual steps so changes feel manageable and steady.

Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and feeling unsure about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is often used for panic attacks, persistent worry and mood problems because it gives clear tools to practise between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy provides a listening space where the person leads the conversation and is treated with respect and empathy. This approach supports building trust and finding what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps keep visual connection and body language, phone works well with lower bandwidth, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
