About Lanelle
Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem while also addressing adoption and foster care issues, forgiveness, and jealousy.
Background and approach
Her background includes independent practice and group work, and she has used psychodrama in hospital and treatment facility settings to support trauma work. In online sessions she emphasizes a supportive, compassionate stance paired with gentle challenge to encourage growth and greater life fulfillment.
She works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify strengths, and create practical plans for change. Lanelle aims to establish an open therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of judgment.
Clients can expect a therapist who asks thoughtful questions to help uncover what brought them to therapy and who partners with them to build confidence and motivation. Taking the first step is acknowledged as courageous, and Lanelle supports clients through goal setting and actionable strategies toward a more satisfying life.
Practical approaches for online therapeutic work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for stress and anxiety by teaching practical skills to manage thoughts, reduce worry, and change coping habits.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, empathic relationship in which the client leads the pace and topics of therapy. This approach supports self-exploration and builds confidence by prioritizing the client's experience and choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to evaluate which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches to create an individualized plan.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose how they engage based on schedule and comfort. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family obligations and allow licensed professionals to support progress through regular, accessible contact.
