About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting concerns, and phobias. He offers straightforward encouragement and listens for what isn’t working in day-to-day life. His style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find realistic steps forward.
He uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform his work with relationship and intimacy issues. Mindfulness strategies are used to build calm and present-moment awareness. Lannie draws on three years of counseling experience and a background that includes a 15-year career in corporate communications and public relations.
He holds a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and the LPC credential. That mix of clinical training and workplace experience shapes his practical approach. In sessions he listens, asks clear questions, and helps people test small, doable changes.
He encourages clients to discover solutions that already exist inside their lives and to practice new skills between meetings. He keeps language simple and focuses on everyday steps that can be repeated at home. Outside of work he is a husband and father and sometimes mentions his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, for a light moment.
People who want a direct, encouraging counselor who blends therapy tools with real-world experience may find his approach easy to follow.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address phobias. It breaks problems into small steps people can practice between sessions. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings, impulsivity, and relationship struggles. It offers concrete tools for handling strong emotions in daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people express needs and rebuild connection when intimacy or attachment feels strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or more methods to try. Clients and the therapist collaborate on which tools fit best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit into a busy life.
