About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience. She focuses on the person in the room and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected. Her style centers on Client-Centered Therapy while also drawing on cognitive and mindfulness approaches. Many people seek her help for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and addiction issues.
She has worked across schools, counseling agencies, hospitals, and private practice. Her hospital work included OB, pain management, grief and loss, emergency departments, and both inpatient and outpatient programs. In private practice she saw a broad mix of people, including children and adolescents in foster care, families facing adoption and adjustment issues, and individuals with mood and psychotic disorders.
Dr. Jannik has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and holds LPC credentials in Louisiana. She has experience collaborating with psychiatrists on medication effectiveness and with trainees as a designated supervisor. Her background includes work with first responders, veterans, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and disability, and panic and post-traumatic stress issues.
Therapy sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when helpful. Narrative and solution-focused ideas may also appear as clients tell their stories and set short-term goals.
She respects clients' faith backgrounds and integrates those values when it supports therapeutic goals. If a different resource would better meet a client's needs, she will recommend an appropriate referral.
How approach and online work come together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding first, allowing the client's concerns to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together over time. Clients and the therapist decide which techniques feel most useful as therapy progresses.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a session during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also make shorter check-ins and skill-practice sessions more practical when schedules are tight. Ask about available formats when you set up the first appointment so you can pick what fits your routine.
