About Lannie

Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and grief.

Background and approach

He draws on a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify what isn’t working and develop concrete steps toward change. With three years of clinical experience, he emphasizes encouragement and active listening while collaborating with each person to discover strengths and solutions already present in their life.

Before entering counseling, he spent many years in the corporate communications and public relations world, an experience that informs his clear, organized approach to problem solving. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and brings personal perspective as a husband and father.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded, combining interactive skills work with opportunities to process emotions and patterns. He often incorporates cognitive-behavioral tools alongside relational and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor work to each client’s needs.

Therapeutic Methods and Online Access

Many of the approaches used blend skill-building and emotional work to address common life struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it is well suited for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve attachment and connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to engage in the same therapeutic methods described above from a distance, allowing clients to practice skills, receive coaching, and reflect on progress in ways that fit everyday life.
