About Johnathan
Johnathan Hornig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, and with people navigating LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters next. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that have developed over time and how those patterns affect current choices. He pays attention to identity-related concerns including gender dysphoria, sexuality, and HIV/AIDS, and to problems that follow from abuse or assault.
Johnathan draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings and behavior. He also works with Internal Family Systems methods to help people notice and negotiate the different internal parts that influence decisions and self-image. Together these approaches aim to clarify recurring reactions and free up new options for action.
His background includes many years supporting men with fatherhood questions, body-image matters, and recovery after domestic violence. He also addresses abandonment issues, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-love. The focus is practical: talk through what is getting in the way now and try small steps that move toward clearer priorities.
Sessions are conducted in English from his New York practice. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment is handled through a cancellable subscription model that varies by location.
How his psychodynamic and parts-based work translates online
Johnathan uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help people see how earlier relationships and events influence current feelings and choices. This approach looks for recurring themes and emotional patterns that make some decisions feel automatic or stuck.He also works with Internal Family Systems, which helps people identify different internal parts - for example a protective part, a critic, or a younger hurt part - and learn how to listen to and balance those parts so decisions feel clearer.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss what methods make the most sense based on a person's goals and preferences. That means choosing exercises and pacing together, rather than imposing a single method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or switch to a shorter check-in when needed. Working remotely still allows for focused conversation, guided reflection, and practical planning to address life purpose questions and recovery from trauma.
