Lanelle Hanagriff, LPC

Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and low self-esteem. She brings three decades of counseling experience to sessions and aims to make first steps feel less overwhelming for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses a conversational, supportive style and asks clear questions to help clients name what matters most. Lanelle works with clients to set straightforward goals and build on strengths. Her approach balances encouragement with gentle challenge so people can move toward greater fulfillment.

Lanelle’s background includes independent practice and group work, plus experience using psychodrama in hospital and treatment settings when working with trauma. That history informs a flexible, practical way of addressing difficult emotions and patterns.

In sessions she focuses on skills that reduce day-to-day stress and anxiety, improve relationship patterns, and bolster motivation and confidence. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care issues, forgiveness, and jealousy when those topics are important to the client.

New clients can expect a straightforward intake, collaborative goal-setting, and concrete steps between sessions. Lanelle emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and helps people practice tools that fit into busy lives.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, letting the therapist follow what the client brings to sessions and respond with empathy and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through strong feelings or make sense of relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and build confidence in daily life.

Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current interactions and offers structured conversations to shift repeating conflicts. It can help people who want clearer communication and fewer cycles of blame.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions fit around work or family demands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
