Dr. Carol Jannik, LPC

With 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Carol Jannik approaches therapy with a long history of work across schools, counseling agencies, hospitals, and private practice. She has provided counseling in hospital departments such as obstetrics, pain management, grief and loss, and emergency services, and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient programs including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP).

Dr. Jannik holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and is an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor. She is also a certified trauma counselor, a certified telehealth professional, and is designated to supervise trainees pursuing licensure. In private practice she spent more than two decades working with children and adolescents in foster care and with families on matters such as adoption, adjustment, educational and learning concerns, and attention disorders. Her clinical experience also includes treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychosis, and she routinely collaborates with psychiatrists regarding medication evaluation and effectiveness though she does not prescribe medications herself.

Comfortable working with complex presentations and co-occurring medical and mental health conditions, Dr. Jannik tailors treatment plans to each individual and most often uses a cognitive behavioral approach, supplemented by didactic methods and rational-emotive techniques. She integrates her professional training with personal convictions - holding Christian beliefs while respecting all faith perspectives as they relate to therapy. Committed to the counseling profession, she supports the development of future counselors and will refer clients to other professionals when a different level of care is indicated. Prospective clients are invited to reach out to explore whether her experience and approach fit their needs.
