About Carol

Carol Tallant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and helps people who are coping with anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and related concerns. Carol also supports people dealing with parenting strain, addictions, and issues around sexuality and identity.

People often come to her when they feel unheard, startled by sudden reminders, or overwhelmed by intense emotions. She talks with clients about how memories, flashbacks, and past hurt affect current reactions. Carol pays attention to how those reactions show up in daily life, like snapping at loved ones or numbing out to get by.

Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior ideas. In sessions she checks what is most helpful in the moment and uses practical steps to manage emotion and behavior. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and hypnotherapy when appropriate and agreed on by the client.

Carol has substantial experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse. That background helps her recognize common patterns such as dissociation, attachment wounds, and shame. She focuses on helping people understand where strong feelings come from and on building skills to respond differently.

Sessions aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning rather than promise quick fixes. To begin, clients are invited to describe what feels most pressing, set realistic goals, and try straightforward tools that fit their life. Carol works in English and practices in Georgia as an LMHC and LPC.

How Carol uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts, feelings, and actions in a practical way to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT or DBT tools and adding other ideas like existential reflection or hypnotherapy if both agree it might help.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss which format best supports your goals and daily routine when you arrange the first session.
