About Carol
Dr. Carol Jannik is an LPC with 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, and addiction. She practices from Louisiana and draws on a long career across schools, hospitals, agencies, and independent practice.
She aims to create an uncomplicated, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Her approach is practical and narrative-informed. She listens for the stories that shape a person's experience and helps reframe unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking that fuels distress, and adds mindfulness skills and dialectical tools when emotion regulation is a central issue. Dr. Jannik has worked in many settings including obstetrics, pain management, grief and loss, emergency departments, inpatient care, and outpatient programs such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.
She has collaborated with psychiatrists on medication efficacy and brings experience with co-occurring medical and mental health issues. Her independent practice background included work with children and adolescents in foster care, adoption and adjustment concerns, attention and learning challenges, and a range of mood and thought disorders.
She also has focused experience with first responder and veteran issues, panic and post-traumatic stress, and the special challenges of aging and chronic illness. She tailors treatment to each person's needs and develops clear, achievable plans. When a referral or different level of care is more appropriate, she will recommend other professionals.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through multiple online formats.

Narrative and practical approaches for online therapy
Dr. Jannik uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify and rethink the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps separate someone from a problem and look for alternative, more helpful meanings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real evidence, which often helps reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video lets people use eye contact and nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break, while messaging supports short check-ins and slower-paced reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
