Johnathan Hornig

Johnathan Hornig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing questions about identity, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and coping with life changes. He also supports people navigating LGBT concerns and issues around sexuality and gender. His approach draws on psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems. In sessions he listens for patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. He helps people name painful memories, see how those parts influence daily choices, and try different ways of responding. Johnathan has worked with survivors of abuse, people living with HIV/AIDS, and those affected by sexual assault and domestic violence. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, body image, fatherhood issues, and post-traumatic stress. These topics often come up with people questioning their life purpose or feeling stuck after a change. Conversations are practical and direct. He adapts the pace to what the client needs, whether that means slower reflection or focused problem-solving. Sessions include talking through recent events, tracking emotional responses, and using internal parts work to separate current reactions from older wounds. Clients can expect steady attention to identity and self-worth issues. He aims to help people find clearer options when work, relationships, or sense of direction feel uncertain. If you are unsure what comes next, his background gives a framework for examining what has shaped present choices.

Working online with psychodynamic and parts-based approaches

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat over time. It looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and choices, which can help with depression, low self-esteem, and coping after life changes.

Internal Family Systems treats the mind as made of different parts. Sessions help identify those parts - for example a protective part or a wounded part - and learn how they interact so a person can respond with more choice rather than automatic reaction. This can be useful after trauma or when grappling with identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic exploration, parts work, or a mix makes the most sense given the client's goals and preferences. That decision evolves as the relationship progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also suggest ways to shape sessions - for example a focused 30-minute check-in or a longer reflective hour - to match what a person can manage in everyday life.
