Janice Suskey

Janice Suskey is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of practice in Arkansas. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. Janice approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her work focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. She listens first and then tailors a plan to fit what a person actually needs. Sessions often cover coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage mood and motivation.

Janice uses a mix of approaches to match a client's goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when helpful.

She has helped people navigate family issues, caregiving stress, codependency, and the strain that comes with divorce or separation. Grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling are listed among her focus areas for those facing loss and major life transitions.

Janice aims to make each session feel practical and doable. She works with the pace a person needs, whether that means short-term coaching or deeper work over time. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage when people begin therapy.

How therapy approaches are used online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps people gain clarity and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with practical tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins and to try short skill-focused sessions when life is hectic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
