Hello, I’m Jocelyn Kosik, LAPC. Thank you for visiting my page.
As your therapist, I am fully invested in your health and well-being. I value creating an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I understand that reaching out for support can be a big step, and I am here to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment.
Whether you’re dealing with life transitions, stress, anxiety affecting the quality of your daily life, managing relationships, or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you navigate the challenges that matter most to you.
In our work together, I will aim to foster a warm and collaborative space, tailored to your unique needs and goals. My role in therapy is to support and empower you, offering compassion as we help you build resilience and find a renewed sense of self. I am dedicated to understanding your unique story and collaboratively exploring strategies that can lead to your personal growth and resilience.
I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you on your journey toward healing, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I mainly focus on creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.
I work with adolescents (9 to 12 years old), teens, young adults, and adults dealing with challenges, such as body image, attachment issues, depression, family conflict, caregiver stress, and more. I also offer a safe space for counseling individuals in the LGBTQIA+ and transgender communities.
Outside of session, I enjoy reading what I like to call “fun books,” taking weekend trips to visit family, and catching up with friends during any spare moment.
I have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Elizabethtown College and I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from Elizabethtown College. My curiosity about people and love for learning are what led me to this field—and keep me excited about the work I do every day.

Jocelyn Kosik offers in-person sessions at our Lancaster therapy office and online therapy sessions across Pennsylvania.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Being a kid can be difficult sometimes. It’s a crucial developmental period of growth and change during which children learn about the world and themselves. This can be overwhelming to some children since many are still learning all the tools and skills to help them cope with their emotions and life’s stressors. This is where therapy can provide support.
Move Forward Counseling is an inclusive practice where we want the LGBTQIA+ community to feel welcome and supported. Whether you are unsure how to embrace your identity, are having relationship issues, or need extra support from a non-judgmental person, we have therapists who can help.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
