About Lannie
Lannie Cox is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, grief, and other life adjustments. He also addresses issues such as addiction, ADHD, intimacy struggles, and family of origin issues.
Lannie uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what is not working and what might. He listens for patterns that come from early family roles and expectations and helps people notice how those patterns show up now. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not vague reassurance.
His background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and a prior 15-year career in corporate communications and public relations. That work shaped his preference for direct, solution-focused dialogue and coaching-style feedback.
Therapeutic methods he draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, emotion-focused work, dialectical behavior tools, and the Gottman approach for relationship communication. Lannie and a client pick methods that fit the problem and the person’s day-to-day life.
Outside of practice he is a husband and father. He mentions practical family experience when it helps explain parenting or fatherhood concerns. He sometimes brings lightness into sessions with stories about his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, who can snore at inopportune moments.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to clear practice and homework.DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily functioning.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions in relationship moments and work on changing interaction patterns. It is often chosen where communication and closeness are primary concerns. Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide together which methods fit their goals, needs, and everyday routines. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so approaches can be adjusted. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, shorten commute time, and allow quieter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT homework, DBT skills practice, and emotion-focused conversations to a remote setting, and sessions can be arranged to suit practical constraints such as bandwidth, camera use, or brief check-in needs.
