About Janice
Janice Suskey is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LPC, LMHC) practicing in Arkansas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation. Her practice also includes support for addiction, depression, bipolar issues, parenting struggles, and family-related topics including family of origin issues.
Janice focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that come from earlier family life, and practicing skills to manage emotions and behavior. She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Her background includes long experience working with adults across common life transitions. That time in practice has informed a pace that balances direct skill-building with reflective work on how past family roles still shape daily choices. She offers techniques to improve communication, set boundaries, and reduce reactivity when stress rises.
People who come for help with parenting, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, or divorce and separation often work on clearer expectations and handling difficult conversations. For grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, sessions emphasize coping and practical planning alongside emotional processing.
Janice draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and hypnotherapy in her work. She asks about each person’s goals and adjusts the mix of methods to fit what is most helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own direction for change. It helps people clarify what matters most and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or low mood and teaches concrete skills to shift them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress or setbacks arise so the plan changes with the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work through life transitions or while handling caregiving and other responsibilities.
