About Janice
Janice Stidman is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and navigate life changes. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
Janice creates a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and upsetting patterns. She uses straightforward tools to help clients notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her background includes work with mood disorders, ADHD, and grief, and she brings attention to attachment and abandonment issues when relevant. She also supports people dealing with career stress, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.
Janice is affirming of LGBT identities and attends to the impacts of shame, guilt, and isolation. Therapy may include learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, and addressing past hurts that get in the way of daily life. She may draw on behavioral strategies and mindfulness exercises alongside talk therapy.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and improved relationships. People who come to Janice often want concrete ways to manage anger, reduce anxiety, or move through loss. She balances practical skills with attention to feelings so clients leave with a plan and a better sense of themselves.

How Janice’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when emotions are intense. It uses simple exercises to shift focus from avoiding feelings to building a life that matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. This approach is practical and goal-oriented, often giving homework to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for anger and impulsivity challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches or shifting focus over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls can fit into a lunch break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between visits.
