About Janice

Janice Stidman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or the fallout from trauma. Her approach aims to be warm and practical so clients can make steady progress.

Janice creates a calm space where someone can talk through painful memories and current struggles. She uses a mix of therapies to match each person's needs, including EMDR for trauma-related distress.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on building coping skills and improving day-to-day functioning. She often helps people working on self‑esteem, relationship patterns, and workplace stress. Parents and those managing grief or life transitions can find concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Janice also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue with practical tools for daily life. Her style blends structured skill work with emotional processing. That means teaching skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches alongside deeper emotion-focused work.

Clients learn ways to manage intense feelings, shift unhelpful thoughts, and communicate more clearly. Janice aims for collaborative care that respects each person’s values and goals. She supports LGBTQ people and attends to attachment and identity issues without judgment.

The emphasis is on steady change through small, achievable steps. People seeking help can expect straightforward conversations, skill practice between sessions, and a plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online support

Therapy approaches you can use online

Janice commonly integrates EMDR to address trauma and painful memories. EMDR uses focused attention and guided processing to help reduce distress linked to traumatic events and intrusive memories.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are another tool she brings in for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness through concrete techniques.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can fit into a workday or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check‑ins, tracking progress, or getting guidance between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
