About Janice
Janice Stidman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support. Her work often centers on mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, and stress that get in the way of daily life.
Janice creates a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and patterns. She uses a trauma-informed and affirming approach to respect each person’s background and identity. Sessions aim to help people learn skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Her practice combines Motivational Interviewing with evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches help people identify what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking, and build flexible coping tools.

She commonly supports people facing depression, anxiety, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, impulsivity, and problems with communication and control.
Janice aims to partner with each person on practical next steps. She helps set clear goals, teaches hands-on strategies, and checks progress over time. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Janice draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover personal motivation and small, practical steps forward.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
