About Janice
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience in Mississippi, Janice Stidman focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and mood concerns. She works with people facing depression, self-esteem struggles, anger, grief, and challenges related to identity and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Janice uses plain, direct conversation to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She combines practical skills with reflective discussion so clients can try changes between sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to build tolerance for difficult feelings.
For trauma and deeply distressing memories she may use EMDR methods alongside emotion-focused work to reduce the intensity of those memories and to repair attachment-related wounds. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when strong emotions or impulsive behavior are getting in the way of daily life. Janice emphasizes building clearer communication and healthier boundaries in relationships.
She works with a wide range of life issues including parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, dissociation, guilt and shame, and loneliness.
Practical steps are central to her sessions. Clients can expect goal-oriented planning, skills practice, and check-ins on progress. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on personal values. Online work with ACT often includes short exercises to notice thoughts and commit to small behavioral steps that fit daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. In remote sessions this can mean structured worksheets, thought records, and homework tasks to practice between meetings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. When EMDR methods are part of sessions, the therapist guides processing and teaches grounding skills to use after each meeting.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress and needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered and how scheduling works. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, attend from different locations, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework so work continues between sessions.
