About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik is a Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain and illness, panic and post-traumatic stress. Dr. Jannik provides clinical care in English and does not accept international clients.
She spent decades working across settings including schools, counseling agencies, hospitals, and private practice. That experience includes counseling in obstetrics, pain management, grief and loss, emergency and inpatient contexts, and outpatient programs such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient. In private practice she worked with children and adolescents in foster care, adoption and family adjustment issues, ADD/ADHD, and educational challenges. She has collaborated closely with psychiatrists on medication effectiveness and on co-occurring medical and mental health conditions.
Dr. Jannik holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and maintains additional credentials related to trauma counseling and telehealth practice. She is designated as a supervisor for counseling trainees and has provided supervision to those preparing for licensure.
Her day-to-day approach often centers on cognitive behavioral methods combined with elements of didactic and rational-emotive techniques. She also uses client-centered, mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation.
When a case is beyond her scope she will acknowledge that and refer to another clinician. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work will proceed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship strain, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to interrupt unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress; it can be helpful for panic, mood instability, and self-regulation challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Jannik will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals, concerns, and daily life. She combines approaches when that best meets the problem at hand and reviews progress together so adjustments can be made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work with a licensed professional from within their state while keeping appointments more convenient around family or work obligations.
