About Janice
Janice Stidman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose. Janice also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, grief, and compassion fatigue.
She uses evidence-based approaches to help people name what is hard and learn practical skills to cope. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and building clearer routines for everyday life. Janice draws on methods like cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness, and emotion-focused work to support these steps.
Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. When trauma is part of the picture she may work with trauma-focused strategies to reduce the hold of painful memories. She also addresses workplace and career stress, communication problems, and control issues that affect relationships.
People can expect direct conversations about symptoms and behaviors, with time spent on skills practice and real-life problem solving. Janice aims to help clients notice small changes that add up over weeks and months. She takes an affirming approach to diverse sexual and gender identities.
Sessions begin with a short assessment and a plan that matches goals to a few practical methods. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s online therapy options button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
How Janice uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on recognizing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck by encouraging small behavior changes that align with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist and client do together. Janice will listen to goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust over time. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without travel time. It can also allow using video or audio in ways that suit how someone prefers to communicate. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness practice, CBT homework, and emotion-focused skills for remote sessions to support progress without requiring in-person meetings.
