Lannie Cox, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Lannie

Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. He listens closely and offers straightforward encouragement. He aims to name what isn’t working and point toward clear next steps.

Many people come to him feeling stuck and wanting a different way forward. Lannie uses common-sense methods rather than tricks. Sessions focus on small changes that can create momentum.

He draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused techniques to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns.

Background and approach

Mindfulness skills and DBT strategies are used when stress, strong emotions, or impulsivity get in the way. Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That background shapes his practical style and his focus on communication and problem solving.

He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and practices in Texas as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Lannie describes himself as a husband and father, and he understands many everyday pressures that come with work and family life.

He also mentions his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, as a lighthearted detail that can ease the mood in sessions. His approach is collaborative. He works with clients to find tools that fit their goals and situations.

If someone prefers structured skill practice, problem-focused work, or emotionally focused conversation, he adapts the plan accordingly.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Emotion-focused therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings, then use those insights to change how they relate and respond. It is useful when emotional patterns make problems feel stuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick or adapt methods that match the client’s situation and comfort level, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep teamwork moving between appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
