About Janice
Janice Stidman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and relationship and family challenges. Janice also supports those dealing with grief, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions tend to emphasize emotional patterns and attachment concerns. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Janice helps clients notice recurring reactions and name hard emotions so they can respond differently.
Clients can expect practical tools for managing anger, impulsivity, and mood symptoms. She works through communication problems, control issues, and feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and jealousy. Janice also addresses body image, abandonment, dissociation, and challenges tied to life purpose and forgiveness.
The approach includes skills practice for coping with life changes and strategies for improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions may include techniques drawn from ACT and CBT to change unhelpful thought patterns, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Janice provides affirmative support for LGBT concerns and attends to the effects of trauma when relevant. People interested in starting can use the directory process to match and schedule an initial session.
How EFT, ACT, and CBT work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting difficult emotional patterns and attachment responses. It helps people recognize core feelings and change repetitive reactions that harm relationships or wellbeing.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by building psychological flexibility.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors that maintain distress. CBT offers concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and problems like negative self-image.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from EFT, ACT, CBT, DBT, or EMDR over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, grounding techniques, and skills practice to an online setting so clients can work on emotion regulation, communication, and coping strategies between meetings.
