About Janice
Janice Suskey is an Arkansas-licensed counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, and motivation concerns.
She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She listens to what is going on and helps identify thoughts and habits that get in the way. She introduces straightforward exercises to try between sessions and checks how those changes are working.
Janice uses several approaches to match the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer options. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Client-Centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person's goals and perspective.
She also offers work around relationships, parenting concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and issues like codependency and communication problems. Janice has experience supporting people through divorce, infidelity, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and bereavement.
Her sessions aim to break large problems into manageable steps. People leave sessions with specific skills to practice and simple plans for next steps. The emphasis is on concrete tools that can be used in daily life.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and lived experience. This approach emphasizes listening and working at a pace the person finds useful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used when managing intense emotions or improving coping skills, offering concrete techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Janice treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and adjust the plan as needed. The focus is on what helps the client practice new skills and notice progress.
Please confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercise demonstrations and between-session tasks so they work in a digital setting.
