Carol Tallant, LMHC, LPC

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 adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and especially anger. Carol also supports people facing trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, and career or life-change stresses.

Carol’s style is direct and practical. She listens for patterns in how emotions show up and for the memories or relationships that feed them. Sessions focus on helping people identify what triggers strong reactions, learn skills to manage intensity, and make clearer choices in the moment.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing thought patterns and emotional regulation. She also integrates existential questions about meaning and identity, and uses hypnotherapy where it may fit a person’s needs.

Carol has long experience with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, and she brings that background to cases involving dissociation, post-traumatic stress, and shame. She also addresses codependency, attachment and family of origin issues that often underlie ongoing anger and relationship conflict.

Practical steps in sessions include mapping triggers, practicing new responses, and working on communication patterns. People who come to Carol tend to want clearer boundaries, fewer reactive outbursts, and better day-to-day coping. To begin they use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
