About Lannie

Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who feel stuck and want change. He focuses on practical steps and encouragement. He listens for what is not working and helps clients notice options they may be overlooking.

He uses straightforward, goal-focused work rather than gimmicks. Sessions often break problems into manageable steps. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work to help clients shift patterns that cause stress, anxiety, sleep problems, or low self-esteem.

Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That experience informs how he helps people with career struggles, communication problems, and coaching around professional life. He also holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University.

As a husband and father, he brings practical perspective to parenting concerns, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, intimacy concerns, and relationship conflict using clear, skill-based strategies.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that looks for strengths and workable changes. Sessions emphasize listening, gentle challenge, and homework that fits day-to-day life. He aims to help people uncover solutions that already exist inside them, and to guide them toward better sleep, steadier mood, and improved relationships.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It gives concrete tools for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management. DBT emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help with strong reactions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or emotionally focused techniques best match their goals and daily life. That discussion shapes session goals and homework so the work feels useful and manageable.

The therapist's biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten commutes, or allow for a quick check-in during a work break. It also lets people practice new skills in real-life routines and report back on what worked, so sessions can adjust in real time.
