Janice Suskey, LPC, LMHC

Janice Suskey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Arkansas with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and motivation concerns. She also works with clients on relationship strain, grief and loss, and issues that affect self-esteem and confidence.

Janice uses a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance in sessions. She adapts conversations and care to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. That means listening first, then co-creating a plan that fits what the person wants to work on.

Her work includes practical tools to manage emotions and behavior. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. She also uses client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals and lived experience.

Janice brings additional approaches such as dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, and hypnotherapy when those methods match a client's goals. These tools are chosen to address things like coping with life changes, codependency, caregiver stress, and issues around forgiveness or jealousy.

People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance and gentle challenge when it's useful. The therapist aims to help people make manageable changes and build skills they can use outside sessions. If you want to start, be proud of taking that step and prepare to shape the work together.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. The therapist gives space for people to describe what matters most and then supports them in making changes that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend approaches that suit those needs. That decision is made together so the plan matches what the person wants to try.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or school. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care after a move. Licensed professionals can discuss which approaches and session lengths will work best for your situation.
