About Janice
Janice Suskey is a licensed counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Arkansas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Janice listens with respect and responds with clear strategies rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She works with clients on coping skills, motivation, and emotional regulation. Conversations are adapted to each person's needs so sessions stay relevant and focused. Her background includes work with relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and substance-related concerns.
She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. Janice addresses tough topics like infidelity, divorce and separation, and hospice or end-of-life concerns in a calm, direct way. Therapeutic methods she uses include client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally focused methods, and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
These options give practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, manage intense emotions, and improve relationships. Many people come for short-term problem solving or longer work on self-worth and life transitions. Janice helps clients set clear goals and checks progress over time.
She makes the process collaborative so clients know what to expect and can track real movement toward their goals.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients find their own solutions; it is useful for building confidence, improving self-esteem, and navigating parenting challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives with several formats available. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get quick support, share progress notes, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
