About Jan

Jan Horner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life changes. Jan also supports people facing career strain, grief, addiction, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Jan focuses on building a direct, genuine connection in sessions. She listens without judgment and responds to what comes up. That practical responsiveness helps uncover how patterns in relationships and family history affect day-to-day life.

Her practice uses straightforward conversation and reflective listening. She helps people notice what matters most to them, and then practices skills and perspectives that support clearer choices. Sessions often combine gentle reflection with exercises drawn from mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches.

People turn to her for help sorting family of origin problems, blended family challenges, caregiving and aging concerns, and commitment or communication problems. She also works with issues like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue in caregivers.

Jan aims to help clients build resilience for ordinary stresses and major transitions. She talks through concrete next steps, coping strategies, and ways to handle difficult feelings. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on what helps in everyday life.

How sessions work

How Jan's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, purposeful steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by prioritizing attentive listening and reflection, helping clients feel understood and able to process relational wounds at their own pace. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and life direction; it can help with questions about purpose, midlife changes, and feelings of emptiness.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try out techniques, and adjust the focus as work proceeds. That shared planning helps match methods to whatever challenge is most pressing, whether it is parenting strain, grief, or communication problems.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so conversations can happen between errands or during a lunch break. If you prefer a particular setup, confirm the available session options when you arrange your first appointment.
