About Johnathan

Johnathan Hornig is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate trauma, identity concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He works with adults who are facing struggles related to sexual orientation, gender questions, or past abuse. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.

He brings 25 years of experience in social work and mental health to each meeting. That history includes supporting people through post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and domestic violence, and issues such as body image, HIV/AIDS, and fatherhood challenges.

Background and approach

He adapts his approach to what each person needs rather than using a fixed formula. Johnathan uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings. He also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice and work with different parts of themselves rather than feeling controlled by them.

In sessions he balances listening with gentle challenges so people can try new ways of thinking and behaving. Conversations are intended to feel respectful and nonjudgmental. He focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him and helps set clear, achievable goals.

The process aims to move people from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps forward. Johnathan practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. He encourages anyone who is ready to take a next step to reach out and start the matching process so scheduling can begin.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Johnathan uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and life events shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when past hurts repeat themselves in today's relationships and when understanding the root of a problem matters.

He also works with Internal Family Systems concepts, which help people notice and listen to different parts of themselves. That method can make intense emotions less overwhelming and create space for kinder self-talk and clearer choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to figure out which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text sessions are useful for short check-ins, processing between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while adapting to different schedules and needs.
