About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik brings a pragmatic, cognitive behavioral foundation to her therapeutic work while drawing on a broad toolkit of complementary methods.
Background and approach
With 35 years of experience, she combines CBT techniques with client-centered listening and elements of mindfulness, DBT, and narrative approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and substance-related issues. Her practice reflects long experience across settings including schools, hospitals, outpatient programs, and independent practice.
Throughout a career that has included work in pain management, grief and loss, emergency and inpatient care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, Dr. Jannik has collaborated with psychiatrists and other medical professionals to address co-occurring medical and mental health needs.
She has provided counseling to children and adolescents in foster care, families navigating adoption and adjustment, and people facing mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress. Licensed as an LPC in Louisiana, she also serves as a supervisor for trainees and values ongoing professional development.
Dr. Jannik aims to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and to refer when a different resource would better serve a client.
CBT and Skills-Based Care Online
Dr. Jannik often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. CBT sessions typically focus on setting goals, testing beliefs with real-life experiments, and learning coping techniques that can be applied between appointments.She also integrates client-centered principles that prioritize active listening, empathy, and the client's own goals, and incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when those are useful. These approaches can be helpful for relationship concerns, trauma-related difficulties, and mood instability.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will adjust methods over time to find the best fit rather than relying on a single model.
Online therapy with Dr. Jannik is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow scheduling to fit work, family, or medical commitments and make it easier to continue care across different settings while using the therapeutic tools and skills developed together.
