About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people who feel stuck and want change. He focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship pain, and problems with sleep, eating, or impulse control. He also supports people coping with grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and career or life transitions.
His approach is straightforward and practical. He listens first, then offers clear feedback and encouragement. Sessions aim to surface what isn't working and try new ways of responding that fit each person's life.
Before becoming a counselor, Lannie spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations, so he brings experience in problem solving and plain speaking. He earned a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and holds an LPC in Texas.
Lannie uses a mix of methods to match a client's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral ideas, emotion-focused work, mindfulness practices, and relationship tools from the Gottman approach. He emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to notice patterns and make different choices.
He describes the work as collaborative - not giving gimmicks but offering a steady, listening presence and coaching toward real changes. If someone wants to explore finances or money-related stress as part of broader life concerns, he includes that among the issues he addresses.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different thoughts and actions to reduce anxiety, low mood, and impulsive behaviors. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and changing interaction patterns that cause relationship pain. It helps people name feelings and create new responses that build connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills practice, emotional processing, or relationship tasks.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused skill practice or short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people work with therapists who understand both counseling and real-world communication challenges, like those from a corporate background. Ask about session length and format when you schedule to find what fits best.
