About Carol

Carol Tallant is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or stuck. She listens for the story behind the symptoms and offers steady support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Her background includes work with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, and she draws on that experience when people bring painful memories or intense emotions into sessions. Carol uses straightforward, conversational work in sessions.

Background and approach

She helps people notice the patterns that shape their reactions and then tries small, practical changes to reduce distress. She pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues, and she helps people untangle communication problems, codependency, and feelings of shame or abandonment. Her approach blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies.

That means clients can tell their story, test different meanings, and learn skills for managing strong emotions. She also brings existential questions into the work for people wrestling with life purpose and meaning. Carol has practiced for 15 years and holds the credentials LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor.

She works with people dealing with addictions, sexual assault and abuse, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right schedule and format so they can start meeting and setting goals.

Online session options

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Carol blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people retell the stories that shape their lives and try new meanings for old problems, which can be useful for issues like trauma, identity, and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and can explore difficult feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, evidence-based strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which combination of Narrative exploration, empathic listening, or CBT skill work fits their goals and preferences. That process can change as therapy progresses, with new techniques added when they make sense.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
