About Jan

Jan Horner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers therapy on building an honest, caring connection with each person. She focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations that help people face relationship pain, stress, anxiety, and changes in life. Jan names men’s issues among her focus areas and brings a calm, patient presence to those concerns.

She encourages clients to look at what matters most and to build resilience over time. Sessions aim to heal relational wounds and to help people move toward clearer values and goals. Jan listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of change.

Her work blends acceptance and action. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside client-centered listening, mindfulness, and existential perspectives to help people find meaning and practical steps forward. Jungian ideas may be part of deeper exploration when helpful.

Jan has been practicing for 10 years in Pennsylvania as an LPC. That experience includes supporting people with grief, trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. She also addresses life transitions such as midlife crises and end-of-life issues.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Jan invites people to start by describing what feels most urgent, then together they decide on goals and small changes to try between meetings. The emphasis is on steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

How Jan’s Approaches Work Online

Jan often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what they are experiencing.

Mindfulness can be added to help people notice bodily sensations and stressful thought patterns without immediately reacting. These practices often help with anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and managing mood shifts by teaching simple skills that can be used between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to how you describe the problem and suggests small experiments or practices to try, then adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Please confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can cut down on travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
