Janice Stidman

Janice Stidman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. Janice aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can start to make sense of difficult feelings.

She works with people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, and career pressure. She also supports those facing identity and life-change issues, including concerns related to ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Janice pays close attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences shape present patterns.

In sessions she uses practical tools from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. Her focus is on teaching skills that reduce emotional reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. Clients learn concrete strategies for managing anger, impulsivity, and shame.

Janice brings a trauma-informed, affirming stance to her work. She aims to help people strengthen communication, repair relationship patterns, and find clearer direction in life. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that add up over time.

If someone is ready to start, the typical path is to complete an initial questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Janice practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that often fit well into daily life. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify values and take small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are also part of her toolkit and provide concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant to real-life needs.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep continuity when schedules change. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others support longer, deeper sessions. Discussing practical needs during the first steps helps match session length and rhythm to a person's life.
