About Janice

Janice Stidman is a licensed professional counselor (MS LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She has ten years of experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Janice aims to create a calm, compassionate setting where clients feel heard and understood.

She focuses on helping people untangle painful emotional patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions often look at how past hurts affect current reactions and relationships.

Background and approach

Janice pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and she helps people notice how guilt, shame, or isolation show up in daily life. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when those approaches fit. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR approaches as helpful tools.

Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and situation rather than following a single script. Janice supports people facing grief, career transitions, parenting stress, and mood disorders including bipolar conditions. She helps people address communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and feelings of jealousy or loneliness.

Her interest in compassion fatigue and caregiver strain means she often helps people rebuild boundaries and self-care routines. People who prefer straightforward talk and practical tools often find her style useful. She works with clients on small, doable changes and clearer ways to express needs.

The practice is affirming of LGBT identities and aims to respect each person’s background and values.

Online support

How Janice’s Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions that shape their actions and relationships. Online EFT sessions focus on moments of feeling and connection to help clients understand why they react a certain way and to practice new responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In remote sessions this looks like setting concrete goals, practicing acceptance skills, and using exercises between meetings to build new habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into manageable parts. Over video or phone, the therapist and client identify patterns, test beliefs, and try practical experiments between sessions to change routines and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean blending EFT with ACT or using CBT tools for a time. The plan is reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still doing meaningful therapeutic work.
