Jennifer Hornberger , LPC

Jennifer Hornberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with three years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through difficult transitions. She brings a trauma-focused orientation to her work and tailors therapeutic methods to each person’s needs, drawing on approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques alongside holistic strategies to promote overall wellbeing.

Jennifer works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, and life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, caregiver stress, and issues related to pregnancy, postpartum, and end-of-life situations. Her practice emphasizes respect, collaboration, and the belief that with appropriate tools people can move through challenging times.

As an LPC - which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates formal training and state licensure to provide counseling services - she focuses on helping clients build practical skills, improve communication, and find meaningful steps forward. Jennifer approaches each client with empathy and curiosity, working to identify strengths and develop strategies that fit the client’s life and goals.

Approaches that guide online care

Jennifer frequently uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a skills-based approach that teaches practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is often helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation, strong reactions to stress, or ongoing relationship conflicts.

Mindfulness Therapy is another component of her practice, offering simple exercises to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can support clients with anxiety, stress, and coping during difficult life transitions.

She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate, achievable steps clients can take to move toward their goals. This brief, goal-oriented approach helps people find clear actions and build momentum when facing specific problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
