About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik is an LPC with 35 years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and LGBT issues among her primary areas of work. She also addresses a range of related problems such as chronic pain, grief, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.
She has worked in schools, counseling agencies, hospitals, and an outpatient private practice for more than two decades. Her hospital work included counseling in obstetrics, pain management, emergency care, inpatient settings, and outpatient programs such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care. She has collaborated with psychiatrists to monitor medication effects and understands interactions between medical and mental health conditions.
In private practice she provided care to children and adolescents in foster care, individuals living with adoption-related issues, and people managing attention and learning difficulties. She has experience with mood disorders including bipolar disorder and depression, as well as more complex presentations such as psychosis and dual diagnoses involving medical conditions.
Her stated approach often uses cognitive behavioral techniques along with client-centered elements and didactic methods. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy when these fit a person’s needs. Treatment plans are developed with the individual and focus on practical coping skills and clearer ways of thinking.
Dr. Jannik notes a background that includes supervising counselor trainees and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. She describes referring people on when their needs fall outside her scope.

How cognitive and skills-based approaches work online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternatives. It uses short exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework to change how someone responds to stress and anxiety. Client-centered therapy prioritizes listening and reflection so people can clarify their own goals and values. It supports exploring feelings and choices without steering the person toward a specific outcome. Dialectical behavior therapy combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with strong emotions and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered listening, or a mix is most useful for a given concern.
The original biography does not list specific session formats for this profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video when face-to-face cues are helpful or phone when bandwidth or a quieter setting is preferred. Licensed professionals can combine skills training, structured CBT exercises, and reflective conversation effectively in remote sessions when those formats match a person’s needs.
