Lannie Cox

Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people who feel stuck and ready for change. He focuses on practical steps and listens for what isn't working so clients can try different ways forward. He brings a direct, encouraging style and aims to make sessions feel down-to-earth and forward-looking.

He uses straightforward conversation to clarify goals and spot small shifts that can make daily life easier. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing stress and anxiety, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss or relationship problems. He also works with concerns like parenting strain, addiction, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy.

Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That background shapes his problem-solving approach and his attention to clear, practical plans. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and the LPC credential.

His clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based techniques. He combines these methods to match a person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

He is a husband and father and sometimes mentions everyday family life in sessions. He also notes his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, for a light moment when appropriate. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches guide online work

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change patterns that cause problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings and connection. It helps people understand their emotions in relationships and practice new ways of responding that build trust and closeness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication during heated moments.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into busy days. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and reduce travel time so people can keep progress between appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to see which format fits your routine.
