About Janice
Janice Stidman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She has ten years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and challenges that affect daily life.

Background and approach
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s pace. Her work pays special attention to relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and responses to grief or loss. She also supports people facing workplace stress, parenting challenges, mood shifts, and compassion fatigue.
Janice brings a trauma-informed lens when addressing past abuse, dissociation, or attachment wounds. In sessions she uses evidence-informed methods to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Techniques focus on practical skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling intense emotions.
The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions. Janice is affirming of diverse identities and aims to help each person find meaning and resilience. She helps clients clarify life goals, repair difficult relationships, and develop a more workable daily routine.
Her style is direct, warm, and rooted in real-world solutions.
Approaches you can use through online sessions
Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and focuses on exercises that change thinking and action to reduce anxiety and boost mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions. DBT teaches grounding, emotion regulation, and communication tools to help people respond differently when they feel overwhelmed.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Janice collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for focused therapy and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins, want flexible timing, or need brief skill coaching between sessions.
These options let clients fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use different tools for different situations.
