Lannie Cox, LPC

Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety and work through relationship and family challenges. He listens for what is not working and offers encouragement while helping clients find practical next steps. He draws on his counseling skills and life experience as a husband and father to relate to everyday pressures.

He uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations rather than gimmicks. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building skills to handle worry, anger, sleep problems, or relationship strain. He often connects practical strategies with what a person already does well to make change feel doable.

Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations, which shapes his plainspoken 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 has three years of counseling experience.

Lannie offers a calm, encouraging approach and sometimes lightens sessions with casual moments, like stories about his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott. He emphasizes collaboration and aims to help people uncover solutions that come from their own strengths.

People reach out to address many concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and career issues. He also supports those facing intimacy questions, communication problems, and life transitions. He will help you map small steps forward and check what’s working as you go.

How these approaches may work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions feed each other and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and mood changes by giving clear tools to try between meetings.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication that can be practiced in daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotional responses in relationships and improving connection and communication. It is often used when intimacy, attachment, or recurring relationship conflicts are the main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one rigid method.

Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people connect from different locations, which can help those living outside the therapist’s immediate area.
