About Jan

Jan Horner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who emphasizes building a genuine therapist-client connection. She focuses on creating a calm, honest space where people can talk through relationship and life concerns. Her approach centers on listening closely and responding without judgment so clients feel heard and respected.

Horner aims to help people heal relationship wounds and gain resilience. She encourages practical steps toward clearer values and more courageous living.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on coping with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and changes in family life. Her background includes ten years in counseling work and training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, existential ideas, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to tailor sessions to each person’s situation rather than following a single rigid method.

In session she works to understand how different parts of someone’s life affect their goals. That means paying attention to family of origin issues, communication struggles, self-esteem, and feelings like guilt or emptiness. The aim is steady progress toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns.

Practical concerns such as parenting, career stress, sleep and eating problems, and midlife transitions are commonly addressed. She also brings experience with end-of-life conversations and challenges that come with aging and caregiving. The tone is compassionate, straightforward, and focused on usable steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions around relationships and parenting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy; the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-understanding and personal growth. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through emotions and life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then adapt methods rather than insisting on a single path. That collaborative process helps match tools to where someone is in their life and what they hope to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. These formats allow flexible scheduling and easier access when travel or caregiving is difficult. For many people the variety of options makes it simpler to keep steady progress while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
