About Janice
Janice Suskey is an Arkansas licensed professional counselor - LPC and a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Janice also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
Janice keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people sort priorities. Conversations center on practical steps a person can try between meetings instead of long theory talk.
Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior strategies and emotionally-focused ideas when emotions or relationship patterns are causing repeated conflict.
Janice offers hypnotherapy techniques in some cases to support habit change and improve motivation when that fits a client's goals. She describes treatment plans as collaborative and adjusts pace based on what someone says is working.
People who reach out typically want down-to-earth help for life changes, communication problems, caregiving stress, or issues tied to family history. The first conversations focus on current difficulties and clear, achievable goals. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching steps to schedule an initial session.
How Janice uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s concerns back so they feel understood and can choose their next steps. It helps with building motivation, clarifying values, and deciding what change matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new coping strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress tied to blended household changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. That can be useful when conflicts repeat or when someone feels overwhelmed by family stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janice collaborates with each person to identify what methods fit their goals and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps.
