About Janice
Janice Suskey is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing in Arkansas with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addictions. She also helps with relationship problems, grief and loss, parenting strain, and self-esteem issues.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods to look at feelings and interaction patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful to change thoughts and teach coping skills.
Janice pays attention to the real-life pressures that show up between sessions. She addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and family of origin wounds. Topics such as infidelity, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, and forgiveness are also part of her work.
She offers coaching-style support for motivation and confidence building, and she works with people dealing with hospice and end-of-life concerns. Hypnotherapy may be incorporated where appropriate alongside talk-based methods.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow her state licensure in Arkansas. The first meeting typically clarifies goals, explains how she works, and maps small steps for progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and changing interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when relationship habits or intense emotions are hard to name. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person in front of her, helping clients feel heard while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janice will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful. She combines emotion-focused work with practical skills so people can try small changes between sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often use video or phone in different situations, and Janice will review what works best when you set up your first meeting.
