About Janice
Janice Suskey is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Janice focuses on practical work that helps people feel steadier and more able to handle what comes next.
She uses a person-centered approach that treats each person with respect and compassion. Conversations are tailored to the individual. Clients can expect clear, direct dialogue and a plan that fits their situation.
Background and approach
Janice also integrates body-awareness techniques from somatic practice. This helps people notice physical reactions to emotions and learn simple ways to calm the nervous system. She blends these methods with cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical skills and emotion-focused techniques are included when emotional regulation or relationship patterns are central concerns. These tools aim to improve coping skills and strengthen communication in everyday interactions. Her work covers grief, parenting stress, caregiver strain, blended family challenges, codependency, and issues like infidelity or divorce.
She also addresses addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and feelings of guilt or shame. Janice supports people through hospice and end-of-life counseling as well. Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy button.
How somatic and talk-based methods work online
Janice blends somatic awareness with client-centered and cognitive strategies to help people manage emotions and everyday stress. Somatic practice brings attention to bodily signals and simple grounding techniques that reduce overwhelm and increase calm. This can help with anxiety, grief reactions, and stress-related symptoms.Client-centered work focuses on listening and tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and habits that keep problems going and teaches steps to shift them. Together these approaches help people feel more in control and make practical changes between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions can be attended by video or phone, and brief check-ins are possible through live chat or text messaging. These formats make it easier to use therapy tools when needed and keep momentum between meetings.
