Janice Stidman, LPC

Janice Stidman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She has ten years of clinical experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, low mood, and trauma. Janice focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can begin to make small, steady changes.

Janice often helps people untangle painful patterns that show up in relationships or at work. She uses approaches that teach skills for handling strong emotions and for changing unhelpful thoughts. Sessions typically involve talking through recent problems, learning tools to cope better, and trying out new ways of reacting to stress.

Her work is informed by trauma-aware practices and an affirming stance toward LGBT identities. Janice pays attention to how past hurts shape current reactions and supports people who are rebuilding trust with themselves and others. She also works with concerns such as grief, burnout, parenting strain, and mood differences.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally focused work, and EMDR for processing trauma. Janice emphasizes collaboration: she helps people set clear goals and choose strategies that fit their life. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who come to her often want straightforward tools and a therapist who listens without judgment. Janice helps clients practice new habits, improve communication, and manage overwhelming feelings so they can feel more in control of daily life.

How Janice’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions and daily life. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and building small habits to act in ways that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. That approach helps with ongoing anxiety and stress by emphasizing practical steps and acceptance alongside action.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Janice works together with clients to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals. She reviews what is helping and adjusts strategies over time so the work feels useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

It also supports using digital tools for skills practice and in-the-moment coping. Janice aims to help people integrate strategies into everyday routines so progress continues between sessions.
