About Janice
Janice Stidman is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Mississippi with ten years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her focus also includes ADHD, bipolar mood issues, grief, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns.
She uses a mix of structured, skills-based methods and emotion-focused work. Sessions typically involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to respond. She also uses approaches aimed at processing past traumatic experiences and improving close relationships.
Janice takes a trauma-informed and affirming stance when someone brings issues related to identity or past abuse. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and helps people recognize patterns that show up across relationships. Meetings often include exercises to improve communication and reduce impulsive or avoidant reactions.
Her sessions cover everyday problems like workplace stress, parenting strain, and loneliness as well as deeper concerns such as dissociation, guilt and shame, and body image. She often combines behavioral strategies with mindfulness and emotion-focused techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes.
People who prefer clear steps and homework-like practices alongside reflective conversation tend to find this approach useful. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and methods can be discussed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT sessions focus on specific skills, short experiments, and steps you can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build flexible responses to difficult feelings. ACT emphasizes choosing actions that reflect what matters most, even when emotions are strong. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, giving concrete tools for handling intense emotions and conflict.
Figuring out which approach fits is part of the early work. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences together and then try methods that seem most useful. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of sessions over time.
