About Janice
Janice Suskey is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people cope with hard moments. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Arkansas. Janice focuses on listening first and figuring out practical steps that fit each person's life.
She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and bipolar mood challenges. Relationship problems, grief and loss, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and life changes. Janice uses straightforward methods to help people build skills and find relief. She draws on client-centered work to center each person's values, and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Dialectical behavior elements and emotionally-focused ideas are used when emotions and communication are central to the problem. Her practice also includes hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques for people who want those options. Janice pays attention to blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin concerns when they affect day-to-day life.
She addresses topics like infidelity, forgiveness, guilt, and jealousy with a practical, step-by-step focus. Janice aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She tailors conversations and plans to match what each person needs and can realistically do.
People looking for an approachable counselor who values respect and sensitivity may find her style a good fit.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them name what matters and set practical goals. This approach is helpful for people needing support with self-esteem, life changes, or grief.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or depression. It often uses short exercises and homework that adapt well to online sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship problems, and mood instability.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That plan can shift as needs change.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face-to-face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family, work, and travel.
