About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck and want better ways to handle stress, anger, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and other life changes.
He listens first and looks for practical next steps. Sessions focus on clarifying what is not working and trying small changes to see what helps. Lannie draws on several approaches so conversations stay concrete and action-oriented rather than abstract.
Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That background shapes a direct, problem-focused style that suits people juggling work and family demands. He also holds a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University.
Lannie uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy depending on the need. He helps people examine patterns, practice different responses, and build new habits for handling anger, impulsivity, and communication problems.
He mentions everyday life details in session, including parenting and the stresses that come with it. He describes encouragement and listening as central tools, and sometimes brings humor into work life by mentioning his seeing-eye dog Abbott.
People who want clear, steady guidance for anger, relationship issues, or coping with change often find this practical approach useful. If you want to try straightforward, skills-based work, he asks some questions, then helps you test what actually makes life easier.
How sessions work
Approaches for online work and practical benefits
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It helps people who have strong emotional reactions or impulsive behaviors practice concrete strategies to manage those moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce reactivity to triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lannie will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, Emotionally-Focused ideas, the Gottman method, or mindfulness is the better fit based on goals and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made, and sessions adapt to what proves helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people like online sessions because they can fit appointments around work or family schedules, make shorter check-ins possible, and avoid travel time. If camera time is difficult, therapists and clients often agree on alternatives that suit a quieter setting, lower bandwidth, or a brief phone-style check-in. These practical benefits can make ongoing work easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
