Jennifer HornbergerLPC

Jennifer Hornberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She draws on practical, trauma-focused methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life shifts. Jennifer keeps sessions straightforward and goal-minded so clients can make usable changes sooner.

With three years of experience as an LPC, she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy based on each person's needs. She aims to match the approach to the issue at hand rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Clients can expect an approach that emphasizes skills, clarity, and small steps. Jennifer often focuses on improving communication, coping with caregiver stress, and navigating life events like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, or bereavement. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, panic, and trauma-related concerns.

Her style is direct and respectful. Sessions work on concrete tools for managing emotion, strengthening self-esteem, and improving relationships. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies over long lectures.

People appreciate that she centers real-life results such as calmer days, clearer thinking, and better responses to conflict. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online work with DBT often centers on learning and practicing these skills between sessions and reviewing real-life examples together.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. In remote sessions this can mean guided breathing or attention exercises and checking how those practices fit into daily routines.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational style that helps people clarify their goals and increase their readiness to change. Used online, it supports making small, doable plans and tracking progress between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend which methods to try first. Together they adjust the plan based on what feels useful and practical.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for focused check-ins that build on skills practiced at home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy goal-driven and applied to everyday life.
