Carol Tallant, LMHC, LPC

Carol Tallant is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, or relationship pain. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can finally be heard. Carol aims to help clients notice what keeps them stuck and find small, practical ways to change day-to-day life.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and upsetting memories. Sessions include learning specific coping skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new ways of responding to triggers. Hypnotherapy and existential ideas are also part of her toolbox when those approaches fit a person's needs.

Carol has 15 years of experience and holds LMHC and LPC credentials. She has long experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, and she brings that experience into the way she talks about symptoms and safety. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions she uses clear, practical steps. People work on skills for calming intense feelings, reduce avoidance, and repair relationships with themselves and others. Therapy tasks between sessions are common so new habits can take hold in everyday life.

Carol offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats for ongoing care. She helps clients choose what fits their routines and goals, and she works with each person to set achievable steps toward feeling more in control and connected.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Carol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change the thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and mood problems; this work often involves practical exercises and experiments between sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people find their own solutions by following the client's pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another approach she uses for intense emotions and relationship struggles, teaching specific skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clear communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol helps people explore which methods feel most useful and adjusts the plan as goals and needs change. She discusses options openly and works together with each person to set clear, manageable steps toward improvement.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, live chat suits shorter exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and help people keep continuity of care while trying different ways of working.
