About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three years of clinical experience who helps people move past feeling stuck. He listens closely and offers straightforward encouragement to uncover what is getting in the way of change.
Background and approach
He aims to give a fresh perspective and practical steps that fit each person’s life. Lannie keeps sessions simple and direct.
He tends to focus on skills people can use between meetings, and he pairs gentle challenge with clear strategies. He believes solutions often come from a person's own insight, and he helps clients find those answers.
Before counseling, he spent 15 years in the corporate world in communications and public relations. That experience shaped his practical approach to problem solving and goal setting.
He holds a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and practices as an LPC in Texas. He uses a mix of methods to match the client's needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Sessions emphasize improving communication, coping skills, and emotional awareness. Lannie is a husband and a father and understands everyday pressures like parenting, work stress, and relationship strain.
He also welcomes clients dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, mood changes, and issues around identity and intimacy. His Seeing Eye dog Abbott sometimes joins sessions and lightens the mood.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and building emotional connection; it is often used when people want to reduce conflict and strengthen trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for strong emotions and impulsive behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Clients can change direction if a method does not fit, and the plan adapts over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person meetings difficult.
