Dr. Carol Jannik, LPC

Dr. Carol Jannik is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, bringing 35 years of hands-on experience to her clinical work. She has practiced across schools, counseling agencies, mental health organizations and hospitals, and maintained a private practice for more than 20 years. Her hospital experience includes providing counseling in departments such as obstetrics, pain management, grief and loss, emergency care, inpatient services and outpatient programs including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP).

She collaborates closely with psychiatrists to monitor medication effectiveness, and while she does not prescribe medications herself she remains familiar with both newer and longstanding medication options. Her experience includes managing co-occurring conditions and dual diagnoses that involve interactions between medical and mental health issues. In private practice she worked with children and adolescents in foster care and with families on adoption, adjustment, ADD/ADHD and educational or learning concerns, and has treated adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychosis.

Dr. Jannik is a certified trauma counselor and a certified telehealth professional, and she is designated as a supervisor to train counseling trainees. She affirms Christian beliefs while respecting any faith orientation as it relates to therapeutic work. Licensed by the Louisiana LPC Board, she tailors treatment plans to each person and most often uses a cognitive behavioral approach supplemented by didactic and rational emotive techniques. When a client’s needs fall outside her scope, she makes referrals to appropriate providers and invites prospective clients to reach out to determine fit.
