About Janice
Janice Suskey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Arkansas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Janice also addresses addictions, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Her approach begins with listening. Sessions are client-centered and practical. She uses plain talk to identify what's getting in the way and to set small, doable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are part of how she helps people change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Janice also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships are a central concern. She incorporates hypnotherapy and mindfulness work at times to support stress reduction and behavioral shifts. These tools are used to suit the problem at hand, not as one-size-fits-all fixes.
People who come to her often need help sorting family tensions, navigating blended family dynamics, or coping with caregiver stress. She also works with issues like codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and young adult transitions. Sessions aim to break issues into manageable steps and build useful skills.
Janice asks clients to decide on practical goals together. The focus is on concrete changes people can use in daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Janice works with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validating a person's experience, and building on their strengths to set practical goals. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort through relationship or family concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and problems that feel stuck because of repeating habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation and coping under pressure are priorities. DBT techniques teach concrete strategies for managing strong feelings and improving moment-to-moment coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. That discussion guides how sessions are structured moving forward.

Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt session length and pacing so therapy fits into everyday life.
