Dr. Carol Jannik, LPC

Dr. Carol Jannik is a seasoned mental health professional who brings deep experience and a practical, individualized approach to counseling. With a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology - a doctoral degree focused on clinical practice and research in counseling - and the LPC credential as a Licensed Professional Counselor, she combines advanced training with decades of hands-on work across settings. She has held roles in schools, community counseling agencies, mental health organizations, hospital departments such as OB, pain management, grief and loss, emergency services, and both inpatient and outpatient programs including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care.

Across more than two decades in private practice, Dr. Jannik has worked closely with psychiatrists to coordinate medication treatment and to monitor medication effects, though she does not prescribe medications herself. She is experienced with co-occurring medical and mental health conditions and understands how these diagnoses can interact. Her clinical caseload has included children and adolescents in foster care and adoptive families, attention and learning concerns such as ADD/ADHD, family and adoption adjustments, as well as adults coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychosis.

Committed to ongoing professional growth, she is a certified trauma counselor and a certified telehealth professional and serves as a designated supervisor for counseling trainees, supporting the next generation of clinicians pursuing licensure. Dr. Jannik integrates client-centered care with evidence-informed methods - most often drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy with elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches - and she tailors treatment plans to each person s needs. She respects the role of faith when it matters to a client while maintaining an inclusive stance toward all beliefs. When a client s needs exceed her scope, she makes timely referrals to ensure appropriate care. Those seeking a knowledgeable, experienced therapist will find Dr. Jannik approachable and dedicated to helping clients find practical paths forward.
