Lannie Cox

Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people working through anger, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and many life transitions. He listens with patience and offers encouragement while helping clients identify what isn’t working and what might change. His approach is straightforward and aimed at practical next steps rather than quick fixes.

He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to help people stay present. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method inform his work around relationship and intimacy concerns.

Before counseling he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations, which shaped his practical, results-oriented style. 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 is a husband and father and mentions his Seeing Eye dog Abbott as part of his day-to-day life.

Sessions focus on identifying realistic goals and building skills clients can use between meetings. Lannie emphasizes collaboration - he listens, offers observations, and proposes experiments to try in real life. He invites people to bring what feels stuck and to work toward clearer choices and steadier reactions.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns because it gives clear skills and experiments to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively. These skills can help when anger or impulsivity leads to problems at work or home.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and then use that understanding to change how they relate to others. It is often used for intimacy-related issues and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what the client finds most helpful. This is a collaborative process that centers client preferences and real-life results.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy week, allow brief skill-focused sessions when a short boost is needed, and remove travel time for people balancing work and family obligations. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through remote sessions when scheduling and personal needs align.
