About Carol

Carol Tallant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience in Georgia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family struggles, and codependency concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, sexual assault, and related symptoms such as flashbacks, dissociation, and intense emotional reactions.

Carol listens for how past experiences shape present responses. Sessions focus on recognizing patterns - like people-pleasing, avoiding feelings, or reacting strongly to reminders of past harm. She helps people name what they feel and notice how their body and mind respond. Work in sessions is straightforward and practical rather than abstract.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential therapy, and hypnotherapy techniques. That mix supports changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotion regulation skills, and exploring meaning and identity. She uses tools you can practice between sessions to manage distress and test new ways of interacting.

Carol has substantial experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse. She pays attention to safety, pacing, and how memories and triggers appear in daily life. She helps people reduce distressing symptoms and build clearer boundaries and a steadier sense of self.

To begin, she asks about current struggles, history, and goals. Sessions are aimed at practical steps that make daily life easier and help people feel more like themselves over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so people feel understood and can explore their own answers. It helps when someone needs space to talk through identity, shame, or family of origin issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for learning distress tolerance and steadier responses to triggers.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That conversation can change as therapy progresses and needs shift.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Clients should consider whether they prefer video or phone for longer conversations, or shorter calls for quick coping skill check-ins.
