She has supervised counselor trainees and values training future therapists. She is a certified trauma counselor and a certified telehealth professional.

Her style is practical and goal-oriented, aiming to build coping skills and clearer ways of thinking about problems.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Jannik often uses client-centered therapy, focusing on the person in front of her and creating a space where concerns are heard. This approach helps people set goals and shape sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, depression, and stress related problems. It breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions to guide small, achievable changes.She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are a priority. DBT techniques teach distress tolerance, emotion management, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for intense mood swings and overwhelming stress. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will listen to symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Together the client and therapist check progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging allows for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
