01About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to addiction and LGBT identity.
Her practical style aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on next steps. She has worked in many settings, including schools, counseling agencies, hospitals, and a long-running independent practice. That background includes counseling in obstetrics, pain management, grief and loss, emergency care, inpatient work, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient programs.
Background and approach
Dr. Jannik often collaborates with psychiatrists about medications and monitors how medications affect therapy goals. She understands how medical and mental health conditions can overlap and influence each other.
In practice she creates treatment plans tailored to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her work with young people included children and adolescents in foster care, adoption-related issues, attention concerns, and school adjustments. She has also supported people with bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other complex mood conditions during outpatient care.
She holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and is licensed by the Louisiana LPC Board. She has experience supervising trainees and has completed coursework related to trauma counseling and telehealth. When a need falls outside her scope, she will make appropriate referrals.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals, offering empathy and support while helping people find their own solutions. This approach fits concerns like relationship strain, family challenges, and general life stress by centering the session on what matters most to the individual.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, and ease depressive patterns through techniques like thought records and behavioral experiments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, self-destructive urges, and relationship conflict.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed based on what works best. Clients and the therapist work together to tailor the plan and measure progress.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to use the tools learned in sessions when life gets busy.
