About Jan
Jan Horner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, human-centered work around relationships and parenting concerns. She aims to build a warm, honest connection so people feel heard and can begin making changes that matter to them. She listens without judgment and helps people name what’s getting in the way of better days.
Sessions often focus on real-life goals like handling stress, improving intimacy, managing mood, or coping with grief.
Background and approach
Jan centers conversations on the issues a person brings up, then looks for small steps forward. Her style mixes acceptance and action. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck.
She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to support people as they clarify values and life purpose. With ten years of counseling experience, Jan has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, and parenting stress. She also addresses relationship and family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and life transitions like midlife changes and aging concerns.
Jan offers sessions in English and meets people from Pennsylvania and beyond. Her approach treats the person first and the problem second, focusing on steps that fit each person’s life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jan blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based action, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps build connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule or to continue work when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
