Lannie Cox, LPC

Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people who feel stuck and want practical change. He focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addiction, grief, intimacy, and self-esteem. He aims to offer straightforward encouragement and a fresh perspective to people searching for workable solutions.

His style is down-to-earth and goal oriented. He listens first, then helps identify what isn’t working and what might help next. Sessions often blend techniques to match a person’s needs rather than following a single formula. He emphasizes small, doable steps people can try between meetings.

Before becoming a counselor, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and carries the LPC credential. That mix of clinical training and workplace experience shapes a practical approach to life and career concerns.

He mentions family life as part of his perspective; he is a husband and father. He also shares a light touch about his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, who sometimes provides a laugh. His aim is to help clients uncover their own solutions while offering steady support and encouragement.

If someone wants to move forward, he works to clarify goals and offers tools people can test in everyday life. The work is collaborative and focused on finding what helps in real time.

Approaches that guide online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits that get in the way of daily life. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people relate to others. It can help with anger, impulsivity, and emotion-driven behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions in relationships and creating stronger, clearer bonds; it can be helpful for people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule windows are tight. It can also let people practice skills between meetings in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and EFT techniques to work over distance while focusing on concrete tools and steps to try between sessions.
