About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and other issues people bring when life feels stuck.
He listens first and helps people name what is not working. Sessions tend to be direct and practical. He aims to help people find steps they can try between meetings rather than only talking about problems.
His background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and a 15-year career in corporate communications and public relations. That combination shapes a practical, results-focused style. He notes lived experience as a husband and father informs his view of everyday family pressures.
Lannie draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness. He uses tools from these approaches to address things like communication problems, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, grief, addiction, and coping with life changes.
In sessions he aims to bring clear listening, encouragement, and straightforward problem-solving. He invites clients to test small changes and then review what helps. He also mentions a Seeing Eye dog named Abbott, who sometimes lightens the mood during appointments.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and anger problems. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. It can be useful for impulsivity, mood swings, and strong emotional reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice patterns in emotional responses and in turn change how they connect and respond in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the issue at hand. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. Please check which options are currently offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions during breaks. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to help people practice skills, rehearse conversations, and review progress between meetings.
