01About Janice
Janice Stidman is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Mississippi. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and caring.
She aims to make talk therapy feel manageable for people who are overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Janice focuses on real-life problems like relationship strain, workplace stress, parenting challenges, and grief. She supports people working through identity and LGBT concerns, and she helps those coping with mood disorders and ADHD.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. Her work is informed by trauma-aware care and an emphasis on emotion and regulation. Janice uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and from mindfulness-based approaches to build present-moment skills.
She also incorporates techniques for processing distressing memories when needed. Clients can expect a collaborative process. Janice helps people set small goals, practice new ways of coping, and check progress together.
She pays attention to communication patterns and attachment issues that often underlie repeated conflicts. Outside core concerns she often addresses themes like abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and life purpose. Her aim is to help people regain a sense of control and clearer direction through steady, practical steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist collaborate to find techniques that feel helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, manage symptoms from home, or follow up quickly after a difficult day.
