About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. He aims to offer a clear, encouraging presence for people who feel stuck and want practical change. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on listening and finding what actually helps.
Lannie draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness techniques.
Background and approach
He blends these methods to match each person's situation rather than relying on one fixed protocol. That means sessions can include skill-building, problem solving, or exploring emotional patterns depending on the need. Before counseling, he spent 15 years in the corporate world in communications and public relations.
That background informs his practical style and comfort talking about work, career stress, and life transitions. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University. Lannie is a husband and father and often draws on ordinary family experience to relate to common pressures around parenting, blended households, and family role conflicts.
He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, eating or sleeping problems, and issues like guilt, shame, and impulsivity. Each session is a chance to listen, try different strategies, and adjust what isn’t working. He believes many solutions come from the client’s own insight, with the counselor offering guidance, structure, and encouragement along the way.
How therapy approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them into more useful ones. It often involves short exercises and practical homework that target anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can help with impulsivity, anger, and relationship patterns by focusing on emotion regulation and mindful coping.
Choosing the right method is a shared task. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a few strategies, and adjust as you learn what helps. That way the work stays practical and aligned with your preferences.
Online formats make fitting therapy into busy lives easier. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or times when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking.
These options let people keep therapy consistent through work and family demands while using CBT, DBT, or emotionally focused tools in ways that match their day-to-day life.
